I'll take each point in turn.
1. You are correct the 2 letter ISO country code for the UK is gb see http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/ 02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html#sz
2. Britain is now forced to use metric by Europe (the french invented it) but a lot of older people are resiting and like to still use imperial (which we invented).
3. The US Gallon is smaller than the Imperial Gallon.
4. A pint is 568ml so in North America we get short changed when you call a pint 16oz, check out the weights and measures act. And what the hell is a sleeve!!
5. Like.com follows the country Domain standard, I know there is.us but who actually uses it.
Just for fun keep it light!
