LOL. So it's NOT called an 'English' system.

"American system", "US system", "UK system", "imperial system", "Metric
System" almost every country has a measurement system with minor
differences. There is even an "Australian System".

However most are the two camps, "English and Imperial" with liquid measure
having the greatest difference with the same named units.

Yes, the US for the most part IS the English System.
