Indeed. It makes no sense as a reference to the language 'English' or to the country 'England'. English speaking people in England do not use the US pint. If it is a reference to US colonial history then this also makes no sense. The colony was a *British* colony under a *British* king, not an English colony under an English king. >The term 'imperial' is much more befitting No. The term 'imperial' cannot be applied to units that are not recognised in the UK.
