Not directly relevant to your post I thought your post was culturally interesting. I live in the UK, and a pub pint will ALWAYS be what you listed as imperial pints. I believe it is illegal to call it a pint and it not be that size. I'm surprised how small the American pub pints are in comparison.
Illegal in Canada too - if it's not 20 +/- 0.5 oz, you can't call it a pint.
Can't say I see the word 'pint' at pubs very often anymore, though.
Certainly people must ask for "pints" though and if the server brings them a drink, I would take that as confirmation that they are tacitly serving pints.
