Nobody? Nobody except your neighbors to the South. Not that we
call them "Imperial", that would be almost as un-American as using
the Godless metric system (yes, that really is what many people here
called it when there was an abortive effort to convert, many years
ago).
Well there are a few misguided souls around still and I still have cook books

It is always a pleasure to try and figure out if a gallon is Imperial (≈ 4.5 l
or US (≈ 3.8 l)
