Do Americans use imperial?This is something I admit I have never thought about. I know gallons are used but what about lbs and ozs? Feet? Dare I mention the hundredweight?

YupThey use feet, inches, pounds and ounces (although yards and stones are seen less frequently), miles, and fluid ounces (which are different from imperial fl oz, hence the differing pints and gallons).
