Well. We only really use inch, foot, and mile. So that helps a lot.

And yards. I've heard that British people tend to use whatever measurement they care for at the time. This has become evident with many British people I have talked to.

We use Metric about 80% of the time but a lot of older people are still really attached to Imperial because they grew up with it so it slips in

Inches, feet, miles, and Fahrenheit are pretty much the only units one encounters in everyday murrican life

We use the SI system for anything where high accuracy is important and the imperial system for human-friendly measurements. What's easier, remembering that 37 is hot and 0 is cold or 100 is hot and 32 is cold?

Duh102 wrote: 37 is hot and 0 is cold that Though in all fairness, Chao is probably right on that. I hear "32 degrees" and think "I AHM TOO MUCH WARM HEER" whereas an american would probably be all "naw dude that's pretty cold dude BALD EAGLESSSSSSSS". I'm also the kind of guy who'd much prefer 0 Celcius over 32 Celcius, but that is a different matter that is related to vikings.

You would say "It's the 5th of August."
