I thought that it's based off of the Imperial. I thought we used a different term? I could be very wrong though.

OK I found it. I actually decided to google.
The United States customary system (also called American system or, sometimes, "English units").
The U.S. system of units is similar to the British imperial system.[4] Both systems derive from the evolution of local units over the centuries, as a result of standardization efforts in the United Kingdom; the local units themselves mostly trace back to Roman and Anglo-Saxon units. Today, these units are defined in terms of SI units
