Sorry but I partly agree with OP.

I was educated in the 70s.

The only thing I measure in imperial is miles/mpg.

That is simply down to the fact that signs are in miles/yards and odometers are also in miles. No other reason.

I couldn't tell you how many ounces are in a pound; pounds in a stone and stones in a whatever. Inches in a yard or yards in a mile.
