      Other languages have words to describe lengths in a more “poetic” way.

      In Spanish we have “leguas” which I’m sure was a unit of length, but gun to my head, can’t tell how far one is.

      The UK uses miles. They mostly use the metric system, but there are a few cases where they use the imperial system (like distance)
