@LightofReality I think, I'm going to call them US/UK unit...

[scienceapps]

@ananimus3 thanks for your answer !

[LightofReality]

Uh, why not just call it "Imperial" unit because that's what it's called?!

[ananimus3]

Hmm. This is a hard question actually. Check Wikipedia and see "US customary units," "Imperial units," and "English units." English units is where they both started, but there were no official measures yet.

I guess you can put "US" or "Imperial" or "US/UK" and users should know what it is. I'm from the States, and I always look for Imperial as I didn't know US Units were actually considered different. My mistake!

[scienceapps]

I should call that function "US/UK units"? Is there an other country where these units are used. For information, i live in france, using metric units :) Thanks for your comment

[ananimus3]

(Oh and also... nice app!)

[ananimus3]

They're not "U.S. units." They're "Imperial Units." They're still used frequently in the UK, too.
