Is there a preference or a setting to do this?

What about the Inch/Decimals unit available in the preferences panel?

You don't get it. When I type 80 3/4" it automatically converts it to 6' 8 3/4". I want to say in inches as I type it 80 3/4"
It avoids me to take the calculator and reconvert it in to inches.
Why do you care Dorin, in Romania is cm anyway, much easier. I know because I am Romanian

I think Dorin cares for me, the programmer, who must take care of all kind of requests for Imperial measure system, whereas everybody could use the easier Metric system [:(]

Yes, you're right !
In this 21st century, it's the standard measure system.
