Every cultures as its ways to communicate measurements. It worked fine if you only lived in your community where everybody used the same thing. People started to realize a problem when goods began to be traded between communities and cultures. You can see the origin of the English system where feet, hands, stones were really originally used to measure things. They standardized it so that 1 foot from one region means the same as another. Then, they spread it around the world the same way as the English language was spread around. If you travel to many villages and other isolated areas, they often still use the traditional measurement for many daily activities. The metric system (SI) is different. It was completely created with the intention to make it simple and standard. Everything is base on 10, 100, 1000, ect.
