I wouldn't call it the US system because it isn't the only country that uses imperial, and it's not the country that developed it
Also, I feel like the British driver seats is the worst because of how much money it wastes to produce right driver seat cars specially for them, plus it's probably responsible for many car accidents from tourists who are very used to left driver seat driving
I called it imperial/US system because I remembered there are differences between the two. After a quick check on Wikipedia, the proper name for the system used in the US is
United States customary units.
Good point for the driver seats tho, although I feel obligated to remind you that the Brits aren't the only ones who drive on the left side of the road (and it's not just their former colonies either, there's Japan too. Again, Wikipedia:

Looks like I was a part of a major misconception, lmao. Now that you're mentioning that, I think I've seen people refer to it as "US customary units" maybe at most ten times in my life, but I've seen people call it imperial thousands of times. Pretty funny

Oh, wow, didn't realize how many other countries had left-hand traffic

Or whatever John tells the snake in Disney's Robin Hood, I never watched it in English
I don't know, but what I do know is that Disney is responsible for the development of my stage 5 leukemia.
