Can someone me
why does the united states still use the english system for everyday measurements which of the following is not a reason for worldwide use of the metric system instead

The US English System of measurement grew out of the manner in which people secured measurements using body parts and familiar objects. For example, shorter ground distances were measured with the human foot and longer distances were measured by paces, with one mile being 1,000 paces. Capacities were measured with household items such as cups, pails (formerly called gallons) and baskets.
