User:Amade/Furlong based measurement system

This page will outline a furlong based measurement system, the base unit of which will of course be the furlong (1/8 of a mile, 660 feet, or 201 meters).

With the base unit of 1 furlong, we can apply SI prefixes to create units of measurement suitable for smaller or larger contexts.
 * The decafurlong (abbreviated df) would be 10 furlongs (8 miles or about 2 kilometers) and used in the context of long-distance travel, although plain old furlongs would suffice fairly well for such contexts as well.
 * The centifurlong (abbreviated cf) would be 0.01 furlongs (6.6 feet or 2 meters), and would be the standard unit of measurement used in construction and similar contexts.
 * The millifurlong (abbreviated mf) would be 0.001 furlongs (about 2/3 of a foot, or 1/5 of a meter) would be the standard unit of measurement for human and animal height as well as for the measurement of furniture, etc.
 * The microfurlong (abbreviated μf or sometimes uf) would be 0.000001 furlongs (about 1/5 of a millimeter) would be used in microscopic contexts, should any such contexts exist.

Keeping thematically with the "old Imperial units of measurement" idea, weights could be measured in stones, each of which is about 14 pounds or 6.4 kilograms.
