I'm gonna toss my vote in on Imperial. That's what I was taught in grade school, and I'm gonna stick by it.

It is generally called the British or Imperial system. However, it is important to realize that American liquid measure differs from traditional Imperial units. In particular the traditional Imperial gallon is 1.25 the size of an American gallon. American quarts and pints are also correspondingly smaller.

There are only two recognized systems used today: Metric and Imperial. The U.S. is one of the very few who have not gone over to the metric system, but still use Imperial.

I think the U.S.'s measurement system is called the Imperial Units or United States customary units.
I'm not completely sure, but you can check out these site:

I would recommend the first one.

It is called "Standard". I would call it Stupid American measurement. Why can't we use the metric system? I know why. It is because it makes too much sense.
