We got our measurements from our mother country (England), home slice. That's why they are called "English measures" or "the imperial system". Then England decided to adopt the metric system part of a globalist utopian agenda to untether our language from the real world (for instance, the foot of an average man is a ~1 foot long, whereas a meter is a completely arbitrary length).
And don't give me this "it's easier to use metric for scientific pursuits because everything is a multiple of 10" nonsense, because the most important and ubiquitous scientific tools (computers) use binary, and there are no multiple of 10 that have factor of 2, so we end up with misnomers, like calling 1024 bits, not 1000 bits, a kilobit
