I prefer angstrom unit, angstrom for distance, bushels for weight, cord (128 cubic foot), volume, which can be inconveinient when baking. The fortnight when measuring time, when sidereal time proves problematic, fathoms & nautical miles for boating or f***ing fathoms plus f***ing nautical miles for coarse fishermen. The dram is popular over the border, there are however different sizes from wee upwards.
