Why does America still use the retarded Imperial System?

Well Britain is a bit on the fence, is it not? It seems that sometimes you use metric and sometimes you use imperial.
Make up your minds.

Metric is base 10
How 10 is not an arbitrary number?

It's consistent at least, Imperial is all over the place with 5280 feet in a mile or something like that, Metric is just 1000 millimetres to a Meter and etc

Dude I wish foreigners could know how little we give a fuck about this stupid shit. You're the only ones who constantly screech about what use to measure shit.

This. Also, if you know how to read books, an excellent explanation and history can be found in Measuring America by Andro Linklater. Covers both sides of the Atlantic.

That's not even the worst part. We like to shit on the Americans for using the Imperial System, but we use a shitty bastardization of both Imperial and Metric. Nobody says their weight or height in kilograms or meters here, we say it in pounds and feet/inches. Cooking temperatures are always in Fahrenheit. At least the Americans are consistent with their units. We use systems here. It's incredibly stupid.

I've never had cooking temperatures be in Fahrenheit? They're usually in Celsius, Though I don't cook very much

Height is definitely in feet and inches though
