"means nothing" is quite the overstatement, i think most people who don't use it have a general idea of approximately how much a foot is.

Ha. I still have no idea what you meant. Are you complaining about "feet" as a unit of measurement? I thought the UK still uses feet in their unholy mishmash of imperial, metric, and wherever "stone" as a unit of weight came from.
