...still use the imperial measurement system?

If so, I pity you guys... moving a decimal a few places is easier than having to get out your calculator and punch in a bunch of stuff...

Yes, we do.

I frickin hate the system.

I believe we may be the only country on earth that still does!
Thanks for the banner, silverdrop!

Metric > Imperial, in about every way possible.

Yes, metric is much better than material. Thankfully, we do still use metric in all science-related things, or else we'd be seriously screwed over.

We use the metric AND the imperial system in England. Local shops, such as butchers and greegrocers etc use imperial and most big chains (supermarkets) use metric. It can be confusing.

We use both in America and it seems we use the metric system math sometimes.
