IMPERIAL SYSTEM Aunque el sistema métrico decimal se implantó oficialmente en 1971 en el Reino Unido para medidas y pesos y es el que se enseña en los colegios, en el lenguaje cotidiano aún se sigue usando en muchos casos el llamado imperial system. Por ejemplo, en las tiendas se sigue pesando en libras ( pounds) y la gente suele decir su peso en stones y pounds. La cerveza se mide en pintas ( pints), las distancias en millas ( miles) y la longitud, la altura o la profundidad en pies ( feet) y pulgadas ( inches). En Estados Unidos el sistema imperial también se usa para todas las medidas y pesos, aunque la capacidad de la onza ( ounce), del galón ( gallon) y de la pinta ( pint) es ligeramente inferior a la del Reino Unido. Por otro lado, en EE.UU. la gente mide su peso solo en libras ( pounds) y no en stones.imperial system N — sistema m británico de pesos y medidas
