Obviously you have caught me :
Thinking Old English System in a Modern Metric World ! )

* English Sytem of Measurements
= Inches to Feet to Yards to Miles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_system

* Metric System of Mesurements
= Millimeters to Centi-Meters to Meters to Kilo-Meters
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system

* Modern International System of Units (SI)
{ Standardized Metric System of Measurement }
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI
WHY "SI" - French - Système International d'Unités
