My main issue with imperial units is the fact that they exist. Aside from that, I would suggest to add the option of switching to the International Metric Units, or at least to skip the imperial questions.

There's really no reason that such a beautiful, globally visited site has to impose an outdated, clunky unit system on the rest of the world that follows standards.

I'm sorry if I seem aggressive. It's just that I really, really despise imperial units.
