I know their approximate size in terms of each other (and other Imperial measurements) and in most cases know about how big/long/heavy I would expect them to be, without exactitude.

However, I prefer, despite my decrepitude, to use metric measurements (and even SI ones sometimes), except for furlongs, which are indispensable for horseracing purposes.
