It's a bit weird that the US uses a measurement that was created in the time where people used their body parts for measurement.
Like, the inch is around the size of a thumb, and a foot could be bigger or smaller depending of who measured.
Still, it's still used as a measurement that only a small fraction of the world still uses.
That's a lot of stills ๐ค
But coming back to your point, yes, I have no idea why the US insists on keeping the imperial system, it's outdated, ugly and inconsistent. Plus you cannot easily convert from one unit to another.
Sorry, english is my second language.
Your grammar is correct and your sentence structure is fine. It just lacks a bit of... pizzazz ๐
You could say
