Back in the 90s I wrote many of the programs ....... for the new idaho Driver's License, anticipating Y2K. ....The programs were written in Metrc and Imperial, and by setting a flag in the programs, could run in either system. There was a possibility at the time that US would switch. .... I wish we had .... Metric is a much better system.

Tom 25.4 mm = 2.54 cm = (aprox) 1 English inch This is also very close to 1 American inch. The main problem in the imperial system besides the very arbitrary unit sizes is the problem of every country using THEIR standard unit. As a Canuck I grew up knowing that precision measurements required specifying the standard.
Can we please drop this hijack and get back to the question.

Odd that you have to give them 10 inches before they take the mile in Metric. In Imperial you only have to give them an inch (2.54 mm).

Well, you know what they say about the metric nerds:

Yep but getting them to change is like pulling hens teeth, or get the metric thing done. On the second one, my car is metric, my radios are metric, my appliances are metric, but go to the hardware store and buy metric hardware... They have it but it is just 3x more than SAE...
So getting rid of the term codeplug falls in that area...

The rather unhelpful term 'codeplug' originates from an EPROM based hardware key which AMTRAK train drivers inserted into a Motorola radio in the cab. This term pre-dates digital radios by decades. It is the source of much confusion, and I much prefer the term 'configuration file' which is much more descriptive and far less obfuscating.

The Baofeng UV-82 doesn't use "codeplugs" as it is an analog radio, also CHIRP isn't for digital radios, just analog.
Michal are you using the incorrect terminology, or are you talking about a different model which IS digital?
