Sorry, Tom, but I have to disagree.
Customary is NOT Imperial, there are several differences. ...
I know they are different. As I said,
Call it "British Colonial Measure" (*/to distinguish it from the
British Imperial system, that was a reform of 1824/*).
I don't recommend calling it "British Imperial" as this would be
factually inaccurate. I suggested "British Colonial" because it is
different from "British Imperial" but calling up images of the Colonial
period, and emphasising it is NOT an American system. Calling it
"Customary" is OK too, but I'd recommend not calling it "US" anything,
as there are too many people whose misguided patriotism will be triggered.
