In fact, the Anglo-Saxons should take a step further: why only use inches, feet miles, yards? Why stop there? I suggest a new TIME SYSTEM!

Same for date-time format :
simple and logical is from large to small, so : year >> month >> day >> hour >> min. >> secs 2026/12/30 23h45 59.123Should now be written :
23h 30/(6202) 59.123 12 45
(hrs, day/(reverted years), seconds, month, minutes)Any and all of the alternate units proposed by original poster should be incorporated randomly but only if done without prior notice.
Time isnt metric. They tried metric time, everyone hated it. This is likely because the existing clocks are a dozenal system which is far superior to metric’s base10.
If an alien civilization had what we would call base 5 counting as standard, would they still call it base 10 if they never had more words for digits than zero to four?
They would use a base 10 system and we would use a base 20.
We have words for numbers that are outside of 0-9 they probably would too
I’ve always thought leap day was stupid. We should change it to leap week, once every 80 years the whole world takes a week off
28 years then.
Whoops I didn’t actually do the math, I was way off

What is Anglo Saxon?
“Imperial” is left only in Usa and a few very small islands (probably owned by Americans anyway).
ACU
And Brits use Imperial all the time. New TV shows still say miles. Stone is still in use.
Stone never made sense to me, stones can vary in size considerably and there’s no “standard” intuitive size. Cats can also vary in size, but it would make more sense to measure how many cats I weigh, even if there are some huge cats.
An average cat is about 4kg (or 8.8 ibs).
7 Stone = 11.1 cats
8 Stone = 12.7 cats
9 Stone = 14.3 cats
10 Stone = 15.9 cats
11 Stone = 17.5 cats
12 Stone = 19.1 cats
13 Stone = 20.7 cats
14 Stone = 22.2 cats
15 Stone = 23.8 cats
16 Stone = 25.4 cats55kg = 13.8 cats
60kg = 15.0 cats
65kg = 16.3 cats
70kg = 17.5 cats
75kg = 18.8 cats
80kg = 20.0 cats
85kg = 21.2 cats
90kg = 22.5 cats
95kg = 22.8 cats
100kg = 25.0 cats
