    The US doesn’t use imperial measures. It uses US customary measures which often have the same names but are significantly different.

      Technically theses days they use SI with weird conversion factors, and call that by the old US customary names

        I don’t think that is any different than SI changing the definition of a meter and calling it a meter still.
