Originated from Britain, the imperial system uses unit of measurements such as inch, pound and mile. The US is one of three countries that use the old imperial system while the rest of the world uses the modern metric system. Why have they not converted when all the world already did? According to research, it is simply expensive especially for manufacturing plants. During the Industrial Revolution, Americans have created machineries that operate using the Imperial System.
