Imperial Units (measurements not military)

I noticed in JTAS 8 - the use of imperial units, someone is described as 5'6" tall. I assume this is a mistake.

Nah, it is proof that the Imperium is British.

Despite all these years of metric the majority still know their height in feet and inches, and weight in stones and pounds.

That's because we found out early on that the Vilani build their Glass Houses from TRANSPEX . . .

Imperium smallcraft squadrons are in groups of ten.

I think it's mentioned that the Confederation ones are in groups of eight.
