One thing you can do, on a per user basis, is to create a $HOME/.i18n file and make
the changes you want.

For example, since the US uses Imperial measurement you could simply create a .i18n
file that contains:

LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"

I'm sure there is a way to make these changes system-wide defaults....but don't have
time to look into that at the moment.
