The only issue I have with this is there's a British gallon (that is DIFFERENT from the American gallon) that is used to measure milk. :D. That was the only place I saw gallon being used.

Oh no, so we have metric, imperial units, and now colonial units?!

Still british units :D. In 1826 Britain decided to redefine gallon to mean "10 pounds of water". The earlier standard was 231 cublic inches (potentially meant to be 8 pounds of water). The US never adopted the new gallon.
