Why in the US do they spell grey with an "a", wear uniform chevrons upside down, omit the "u" in favour and colour, why is a US gallon different from an imperial gallon, and why are they the only country in the world noton the Metric system? Kind of shows a certain self centredness doesn't it?

Basically, it could be attributed to a digression by the region (ie- the USA) from the root sources (ie- Europe, primarily England) of these items you mentioned.
If you look specifically at language, you'd see differences between the regions within the USA or any other geographical large nation. There is a term for it, but it escapes me at the moment.
As for the Metric system and the chevrons, I think things like that have a lot to do with egocentric behavior. We are a "nation of individuals", so it makes sense that our national policy would reflect a need to be individualistic. Sometimes it's backwards and sometimes it's pigheaded, but you can't argue that we aren't persistent.
