The Americans continue to use it. I remember the days when the building industry was still using it - to work out say how many sq ft in a room was a nightmare, even more so before calculators - say 16’ 5” x 19’ 8” compared with 5m x 6mWe like it because the non-British find it difficult to use.
Apologies to the OP for going off post
