Nah. I like the variety. Plus, it’s funny to watch foreigners get all worked up over it.
I give you, the Yard!
Humans are the original yardstick, yep.
“Mile” comes from the word “Mil”, which is Latin for a thousand.
The average human pace is 5.28 feet.
As soon as civilization leaves the picture, everyone is back to counting their paces within 2 generations, with Mil paces equaling a Mile. 
My foot just happens to be exactly 12 inches long, comes in handy. My tip of thumb to first knuckle is also exactly an inch.

The length of the average man’s elbow-to-palm is also about a foot.
Unfortunately my waistline equals one yard as well.

You don’t know any of this?
Tip of the elbow to the palm is most definitely not a foot.
No worries. I know a ■■■■ ton about this stuff, and I’m 100% correct.

My sexy arms? You know better. 
Metric is a crutch. By all means, lean on it.

If “civilization” disappears and you’re measuring with your forearm, just call it a forearm. Why does it need to be called a "foot’.
And what kind of savage measures feet with a forearm.
Why do you need “Mi”, just call it 5280 strides.
You’re asking pointless questions now. You may as well complain about all the silent letters in our language.
