To measure is to compare the dimensions, quantity, or capacity with a standard. There are several systems of measurement. The two used most often are called the English and the metric systems (also called SI, or The International System).
The English units of measurement have many drawbacks: the most significant is in the complexity of converting from one unit to another, such as from yards to feet.
