Comment on Measurements

Are you suggesting the US English isn’t derived from British English? Or are you specifically talking about the history from the late 1600s to present? The US isn’t that old, and also has a rich cultural history…
Maybe an example of how Britain’s rich cultural history has better shaped the language is in order.
