The "English" system.

Inches, Feet, Yards, Miles, Ounces, Pounds, Tons, Fluid Ounces, Cups, Pints, Quarts, Gallons, degrees Fahrenheit and horsepower.

However, a lot of consumer products in the U.S. are in metric like medicine, liquor and carbonated drinks.

Americans primarily use the imperial system of measurements, which includes units such as inches, feet, pounds, and gallons. This system is different from the metric system used by most other countries.
