    You usually don’t convert the units in the day to day. Either something is a few inches, a few feet, or a mile away. Construction workers can usually measure stuff out by hand (literally) if they’re doing stuff like framing.

    A cup is quite literally a standard cup size. Any modern recipe will just be like “2 ¼ cups of milk” you can measure it or eyeball it. Anything smaller and you’re using measuring spoons anyway, so conversion doesn’t matter again.
