American System of Measures.

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".

Is there? The only measurements that I know of that are used in
Australia are the standard international ones. Do you have a cite?

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.

Sigh.


The only uniquely Australian measurement I know of involves "a cut
lunch and a water bag"

LOL. Good one, but is it officially a unit of measure?
