Questions about converting grams to ounces

Why do older British recipes still use ounces?
Many classic British recipes, especially baking ones, predate metric kitchen scales and were written in imperial weights. The ratios still work; only the units need converting.
Should I round the converted grams up or down?
For most savoury cooking, rounding to the nearest 5 or 10 g makes no real difference.
For baking, especially anything with raising agents, stick closer to the precise figure, small weight differences in flour or fat can shift the result more than they do in a stew.
