Both are measured in both here, because the US is actually also on the metric system. We’ve been “metric” since 1866 and signed the treaty in 1875.
We’ve just done the extra work redefining our customary units in terms of metric ones and then kept on using them. There was a governing body created in 1975 to push the issue. It was later dissolved in the 80s because no one gave a fuck.
