I like how the US definition feels the need to include the standard unit in parentheses, but the UK definition doesn’t even bother to include the obsolete unit at all.
Pretty much, the only imperial unit I kinda use is gallon, but even that mentally I am using it to describe around 4.5L. Got 5L demijohns and with the headspace you are left with about a gallon. Fun fact of course UK and US gallons are different, its such a dumb unit, but there is something nice about saying you have a gallon of mead or cider.
Distance / length is the worst. A lot of people still measure in feet and inches.
Those of us who use metric still probably use feet and inches to measure height of a person, miles to measure distance and miles per hour to measure speed.
I find distance is mixed, only miles when its driving otherwise km usually. I don’t drive either so no reason to use miles. For a persons height yeah I do know some people that still use feet for that.

We’ve got a crazy mixed system of imperial and metric units but we’ve pretty much ditched Fahrenheit. Just the older generation use that one now.

Don’t Brits usually still order beer by the pint?
True, bottles are usually 500ml though. Its about the same either way. UK pint is also larger than a US pint.
How do you measure your dict?
