Apparently the French sent over a metric system for the Americans to use, but the ship was lost.

OP is asking about volume vs weight, not metric volume vs imperial volume.

If the US had adopted the metric system it wouldn’t matter.

You do know that metric measures both volume and weight, right? A cubic centimeter of water weighs one gram.

I have a cup that’s imperial on one side and metric on the other.
