Still, it's still used as a measurement that only a small fraction of the world still uses.

That's a lot of stills ๐Ÿค”

But coming back to your point, yes, I have no idea why the US insists on keeping the imperial system, it's outdated, ugly and inconsistent. Plus you cannot easily convert from one unit to another.

Your grammar is correct and your sentence structure is fine. It just lacks a bit of... pizzazz ๐Ÿ˜‰

Regardless, it remains in use as a measurement that only a small fraction of the world continues to use.

Which maybe is a little bit too much pizzazz for Lemmy but you don't really get to have fun with your writing elsewhere!
