Bushels sound great, although I don't know what they are. Volume? Weight? Big or small?

I'd love to be able to go to the feed shop and ask for a bushel of rabbit food, please.
Unless you have a whole lot of rabbits you're better off with a peck!

That is indeed the Sophie’s choice I am faced with every time we drive in the same car.
If I drive endless side seat driving. If she drives, we are in constant peril because she has apparently very little spatial recognition.
Meltdown during left-hand turns. Screams that she can’t see anything at night. Freaks out driving on the highway. And when we are on long trips taking turn driving, I constantly have to be on guard because she tends to slide over and hug The yellow line dividing the roads going opposite ways, which is absolutely hair raising when we are out in rural or hilly areas with lots of curves going around the sides of hills or mountains. she’s driving practically straddling the line where a car is going to come around the bend towards us.

There simply is no good option that we have found yet for driving in the same car.
I take it sir, she has read this post, and agrees with every word?

Why? Who knows, like the rest of the imperial measurements system, it's completely arbitrary. :facepalm:

Honestly, even beyond the fact that randomly putting words in a pyramid and then rearranging the sections shows nothing, if you are going to use a pyramid for the format then the smallest section should be the number that tops out at 12 and the next section should be the number that tops out at 31 and the bottom should be the number that doesn't have a limit.

Smallsst unit at top, biggest unit at bottom, and well middle unit in middle?
 
I will make one unfunny post on this subject and be done. Computer systems solved this decades ago. Now it’s time for browsers to follow up. Store the date and time in the universal date/time format, plus a time zone indicator.

Display it in a user configurable format. For international events, the default could be local time for the user, and local for the originator, in parentheses.
