Jim,
 
Egads, there are so many still in use.  Give'm an inch they'll take a mile or so.  Well, no reason to raise the BTU's under your collar.
 
If I remember correctly, a space mission was screwed up because some contractors were using British units while others were using metric.
 
I like "Yewnits" and may have to steal it for a later treatise.
