The US usually consistently uses imperial, which sucks but it’s consistent. England switches between the two constantly. They’re crazy people, and they use measures like “stone” for weight sometimes too. Metric is obviously the better system, but consistency is better than randomly deciding which to use when.
We could, but why should we? I can easily switch between grams, kilograms and tonnes. Hell I can tell you that 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram. I am not going to deal with gallons per square inch of pounds
Why would you use grams for gold (as you should) but then switch to pounds for copper. Are you a lunatic?
907.184 grams of copper, happy now? Lol not quite a kilo going from metric to imperial sounds about on par for USA and I think england does that too

Our smallest unit of weight is the ounce, which is 28g, and as much as Americans hate metric, we hate fractions more.
Unless it’s drugs.
All my favorite drugs come in fractions. Specifically 1/8ths and 1/4ths.
3.5, 7, easy
It’s funny that Europeans complain about Americans being dumb but also can’t comprehend converting units of measurement.
