Imperial system (or whatever the US system is called ) should go away. Let's all just one standard.

Unfortunately, since I'm from the US, I only really know this one, and it's hard to switch when nothing else has switched. I'd put up with the pain of switching though.

    Sadly, the US system is not the same as imperial. As far as I know the main difference is the gallon.

    1 gal. Imp. = 1.201 gal. U.S.

    I also hate having lb.f. and lb.m (pounds force and pounds mass), which have different units and at sea level are different by a factor of about 32).
