Imperial is weird. In America even though 20yards makes sense, we would probably say 60feet in conversation. Yards is only used in football and math problems.
Neither system is better or worse, they are just different, like white girls vs Asian girls. (In all honesty tho Asian girls are better so what am I saying...)
If yall cant convert both measurement systems and understand the distance each represents then thats your problem not the author's. Metres and yards are roughly the same distance. An inch is about 2.5 centimetres
