It's a bit weird that the US uses a measurement that was created in the time where people used their body parts for measurement.
Like, the inch is around the size of a thumb, and a foot could be bigger or smaller depending of who measured.
Still, it's still used as a measurement that only a small fraction of the world still uses.

That's a lot of stills 🤔
But coming back to your point, yes, I have no idea why the US insists on keeping the imperial system, it's outdated, ugly and inconsistent. Plus you cannot easily convert from one unit to another.

You could say
Regardless, it remains in use as a measurement that only a small fraction of the world continues to use.
Which maybe is a little bit too much pizzazz for Lemmy but you don't really get to have fun with your writing elsewhere!
