    " = in = inch.
    ' = ft = foot.
    Even a moderately intelligent thirty something year old would understand 5' 6", even if they couldn't visualise it.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    IIRC, roods were a measurement of area, 40 perches/ΒΌ acre. A rod was a tenth of a chain and a link was a tenth of rod.
    Do you remember when all that was printed on the back of exercise books, along with the aviordepois weights?
