There's actually a classical phrase in the sciences that means, "I can't do any math but the very simplest of operations and my mind is too weak to remember anything!"
It's said "metric."
Americans can use BOTH metric and imperial, because we are simply superior.

You can get arrested in Europe for possession of a knife with a point or a thermometer with more than one scale.

a nautical mile used to be defined as one arc-minute (1°/60) of longitude either north or south from the equator.
it's just a coincidence that it was close-ish to the length of a mile.
