A relic of our past that might be improved I think is our measurement system, though I don't think it's likely to happen at all soon.
I was just reading a property described as being on a block of almost a quarter of an acre, I'm always reaching for the mental calculator (and sometimes google!) when people start talking about perches, acres, roods and so forth.
One measurement I quite like that I have encountered in Europe is for 100m2 (In Lithuania it's called an 'aras') which I think is wonderfully easy to comprehend.
Anyway I'm miles away from a solution on this one
