The Gemet-Haervos measurement system is a system of length and temperature units designed to exist within a middle ground between the more scientific metric system and the more human-feeling imperial system.
The Gemet length system is based around a unit known as the gemet, from the Old English word for measurement. A gemet is equal to one imperial foot, but rather than use all the mashed together imperial units it instead uses units derived from the metric system, using the same prefixes with the addition of four proposed prefixes, an obsolete prefix, and a planckgemet which is equivalent to the Planck length. A gemet is the same length as a foot rather than a metric unit because in day to day life feet are generally more human sized - it's much easier to say one is five feet tall than one-hundred fifty-two centimeters.

The Haervos Temperature scale is defined by two points - 0 is the freezing point of water and 100 is the current average human body temperature. These are equivalent to 32 degrees and 97.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and 0 degrees and 36.39 degrees Celsius. The points were chosen so that temperatures from zero to one-hundred are experienced in typical conditions just like Fahrenheit, but the points are more logically defined like Celsius. The smaller sized degrees of the scale are also helpful for being more precise in temperatures that are experienced day-to-day. The name for the scale comes from the word "harvest", as the zero to one-hundred range can most often be experienced in the fall, or harvest season.
