That would work for me.
The Settings|Options|MapTools screen currently allows you to choose
between Feet or Meters. Unfortunately the english system of square
feet|acres|square miles isn't something that is easily converted in you
head.
I suppose a pulldown would let you switch back and forth quickly perhaps
so you could easily compare to some written records. But that would
require more code work from developers than what I proposed.

it would even be nicer if the tool would offer a combobox with a unit
choice. Because you may want to have the result in square meters, even
if the result is a higher number.

When the preferred measuring units are set to Feet, the area
measuring tool has a limitation for users with parcel sizes we have
here in my town. Currently areas of less than 0.01 square miles are
shown in square feet and above that switch to square miles with 2
decimal places shown.
I would like to recommend that area measurements stay in square feet
until reaching one acre (43,500sq. ft) and then show acres with one
decimal place until reaching 640 acres then switch to square miles
with one decimal place.
