The term "English" units/system is outdated, as England officially uses metric (SI) units. The more correct term would be "American Customary Units" or "Imperial Units".
The issues with ACU is that they differ depending on purpose (nautical mile vs survey mile vs statue mile, troy ounce vs fluid ounce vs poid ounce), they require memorizing multiple strange conversion factors (5820 feet in a mile), they are not easy to convert between types of units (1 cubic meter of water weighs 1 tonne vs 1 cubic yard of water weighs 1684.8 lbs or 0.8424 short tons or 0.75214 long tons), and they do not provide equal precision in values (half inch or quarter inch compared to 12.7mm or 6.4mm), and they lack a logical rationale other than they represent something similar to what was once used long ago.
