LMAO.....only you USA lot persist with the absurd 'imperial' system although use decimal for your currency. Go figure.
Though it was the English Empire that gave the US the "imperial" system, which they then cunningly "tweaked" and claimed it as their own the sneeky little beggers. The same could be said for nappies (diapers), curtains (drapes), colour (color), lorries (trucks) and Aubergine (egg-plant?!!! who the hell thought that one up?!!).

That said, they were clever enough not to adopt the old "imperial" currency system of guinees, farthings, thrupenny bits and hapennys....which thankfully we dropped in the 1970s during a strange thing called "decimalisation".
