Imperial measure is base nothing. Base 12 for inches in a foot, base 3 for feet in a yard, base 5280 for feet in a mile, base 32 for 32nds of an inch, base 16, for 16ths of an inch, base 8 for 8ths of an inch, base 4 for quarter of an inch, base 2 for halves in an inch, base 1000 for thousandths of an inch.
I couldn't invent a worse way to measure distance if I tried. I'm simply not smart enough.
