Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Short description of error
After sizing and/or extruding plane object asking for edge length in Edit mode gives erroneous result as: After setting Y dimen. of obj to 2" the software displays dimension of 2' by 2' although visually the object appears correctly sized.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Start with new file and delete cube. "Create" plane object. Set units to Imperial. Set object size to Y: 2". So now object size should be 2" by 2' and visually it appears so. Go to Edit mode. Ask for Edge Length. Displayed dimensions will be incorrect. The 2" edge says 2' (feet). This happens in Metric units as well and also if you extrude the object the displayed edge distances can be way off. Interestingly if you do not resize the plane and leave it at its initial 2' by 2' and then extrude an edge the reported lengths appear to be correct. Of course in Metric units the resized edge will say that it is 60.96 cm instead of 5.08 cm (2").
I am still learning the interface. I have not succeeded in creating anything yet so there is no blend file to give you.
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps

In the transform panel enable Global to resolve this.
