Imperial Units?

So... I realize that 98% of the world uses the metric system at this point. However, the USPS and the majority of my American customers don't. I would prefer if there was an option in the settings to show imperial weights for shipping bands. It's a lot less conversion on my end to figure out their shipping costs when i'm ordering postage, and less hassle for the customers that don't know whether or not $4 is a reasonable shipping charge for 250g worth of parts. Any way we can get this added? Thanks.

    Do you need two boxes, one for pounds and one for ounces, or is there a way to denote it in one value?

    probably would work best as 2 boxes. with 2 boxes, you can specify pounds and ounces separately, with one box, it would likely have to be a decimal equivalent of the total ounces, aka 2.5 oz., 11.75 oz. , 24.8 oz., etc. You could let people enter something like "1 lb, 4.5 oz" into a single text box, but I'd think that would be less fun to parse and calculate on your end. I know USPS uses 2 boxes.
