Having grown up in a country into adulthood that used metric and then moving to the US there are certain things that are nice about the US system.

In particular a foot is an extremely intuitive unit of measure. It covers a number of use cases better than meters or centimeters.

I also prefer Fahrenheit now that I'm used to it. Fahrenheit has a nicer range for the temperatures we live our lives at, whereas Celsius compresses that range so much.

Unintuitive US units: Miles - I still have a very hard time with how far this is, km was much nicer.
