We do use it where necessary; in science, engineering and the military, for example. Some of our imperial units suck, but others, like pounds and feet and inches are superior because they are more intuitive. The reality is that it's a non-issue for most people and because of that we will almost always have some version of a mixed system, as do most of the other Anglophone countries.
