[ɪm'pɪərɪəl](gen) imperiale, (imperious) imperioso (-a), (Brit: weights, measures) misurato secondo un sistema non metricoSee:Cultural note: IMPERIAL SYSTEM Per quanto il sistema metrico sia entrato in vigore in Gran Bretagna nel 1971, il sistema imperiale, imperial system, è a tutt'oggi diffusissimo. A scuola si insegna il sistema metrico, ma i prodotti alimentari si pesano in once e libbre, ("ounces" e "pounds"), la birra si serve in pinte ("pints"), le distanze sono calcolate in miglia ("miles") e il peso corporeo viene espresso in "stones" (14 libbre) e "pounds". Anche negli Stati Uniti si usa il sistema imperiale, che si differenzia da quello britannico solo per quanto riguarda i liquidi: le misure americane sono leggermente inferiori a quelle britanniche. Negli Stati Uniti il peso corporeo viene espresso di solito in libbre. -
