Not necessarily miles, but note those imperial units sometimes come in different ways, for example:
- When folks in India ask my height, they seem to understand better if I say in feet and inches than centimeters...
- Look at someone selling land in Canada, and acres seems to be common in addition to hectares
- Air traffic control in Europe seems to assign altitudes in feet, not meters (e.g. MH17 was flying at the 33,000 foot level)
Correspondingly in the US you might buy a two liter bottle of soft drink and a half gallon of milk....
