The Anglish Moot
English units

A plot of the many mean whits and metes formerly noted by the folk of Great Britten

Metes are noted in scoring to tell how much of a given mark something has. Time, length, weight, levenstreams, warmth, andeven, brightness, roomth, and swath all have their own kinds of metes. The word chosen as a show or witness of the mete is a whit (unit).
