Why the US uses the imperial system? Like, even NASA doesn't use imperial system anymore. It's just so inferior.

The imperial system is still generally used throughout the UK..

It's just whatever you're brought up with, I guess.

The only problem i have with the US is that they use commas to separate thousands and dots between decimals.. we use it the other way round and it confuses me a bit when i'm buying something online lol.

I guess because of the US but in Australia we see 1 thousand dollars as. $1,000(.00). I looked up a couple months ago what the correct way is for my country, and here it is: 1 thousand dollars = $1 000(.00)
But in terms of buying things, I only see $1,000 or $1000.
