I was not talking about the yard at all. I was talking about 440. Which is a number not wholly divisible by 12.

Be true. It isn’t a duodecimal system. Sometimes it needs 12 to get to the next highest unit, sometimes 3 or 8 or 16 or 14 or 5280.

Being entirely duodecimal would be kinda cool in fact. But it’s not applicable and shouldn’t be used as an argument pro US customary system.

What’s a sixth of an ounce? A sixth of a pint? Of a gallon? Of a pound per square inch? Of an inch?

Ok, and what’s the significance of 440?
440 ÷ 12 = 110 ÷ 3 = 36⅔

Is that really a dozenal (sic. duodecimal) system? Or more like a copecimal system?

That would still be a decimal system just written in a hexadecimal way.

Pumpkin spice is just a less interesting version of Lebkuchengewürz.

Da brät mir doch der Hund einen Storch in der Pfanne

French does, doesn’t it?
Also in German literature, but only printed books not newspapers.
