  1. I'm fairly sure this is true of all nations, or at least most, it's not exclusive to the USN.

  2. Unless that prefix is HMS, because "the his" and "the her" just sounds stupid.

  3.  @Goats_  Everyday life. Most road signs are in both kilometres and miles, we buy soda in metric but milk, beer and some other stuff is in pints. And fuel is in gallons... We actually have three systems in the UK, metric, imperial and antiquated (aka ye olde English), for instance when it comes to weight we don't use kilograms/metric or pounds/imperial, we use stones. 1 stone being exactly 14 pounds or 6.3 kilograms. The government started to decimalise the country in the 1960's and it's still ongoing 60 years later, either it is going really slow or it has stalled at some point and so the goal of replacing two archaic systems with a modern system has instead left us with a mish-mash of three different systems.
