    Well the US units are defined by their metric conversion these days, so technically you are just using metric with some weird factor slapped on.

    So while the rest of the world uses meters with factors of 10, 1000, 1/100 etc., the US uses meters with factors like 3.280839895013123, 0.000621371192237, 39.37007874015748 etc.
