The United States is one of few countries in the world that still uses the

Imperial and/or US customary measurement system in which distance is measured in feet and inches, weight is measured in pounds and ounces, area is measured in acres, volume is measured in gallons.

The United States, for whatever reason, has opted to keep this system of measurement, even though pretty much the rest of the world has adopted the metric system.
