Well, to be fair it's only compunded by the fact we use the imperial system, which has fucktons of weird measurements as opposed to something rigid like the metric system, which goes by 10ths.

12 inches = 1 foot.

3 feet = 1 yard (add 3 inches if you want to measure with a yardstick)

5280 feet = 1 mile

5K runs are roughly 3.1 miles. No wonder I can't convert between metric and imperial.

Don't even get me started on Celsius vs. Fahrenheit.
