Systems of linear measurement that utilize dividing by 2 from a real-

longer than metric. *It tends to be more naturally ingrained for a
carpenter to work this way.

Only for those who grew up in that system. I did. I also spent 6
years in Germany. I learned to do all my "carpentry" in metric and
much prefer that system.
