Default new users in US and UK to Imperial units
Since the wonderful new Edit Suggestions tool has been released, we have seen many (too many) suggestions from well-meaning users in the US to change speed limits to values like 16 or 31 mph. Obviously these users were set by default to use metric units without realizing it.
If a user tries to edit using the WME for the first time in a country that uses Imperial speed limits (which I believe is only the US, UK, Anguilla, Antigua, Barbados, and the Cayman Islands), their units should automatically be set to Imperial by default.

Great timing! We're currently working on defaulting new users in the US and UK to Imperial units. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

As someone who knows only metric, it would be difficult to impossible for me to drive in Us, Uk etc and appreciate distance in imperial. Ideally my display should remain in metrics, only my report should be translated in miles to other local users. Tks
