Obscure Units of Measurement Quiz

Do you know these uncommon units of measurement? Learning them could enrich your life immeasurably.

We all know how long a mile is, and we know the length of a day. We may (perhaps with a little cheating) figure out how many fluid ounces are in a gallon, or how many teaspoons in a cup. But these quotidian measurements are just scratching the surface; the English language has words for hundreds of measurements that most of us rarely come across.
