      I will never understand why Americans won’t use the metric system. It is obviously the better system. It just seems stubborn at this point.

      In Canada, especially near the American border, people often use both.

      I use metric for everything except when it comes to a persons height and weight. If u told me u were 1.8 meters tall and 65kg I have to convert in my head to imperial before I can visualize your dimensions.

      I believe that the reason why Liberia uses the imperial system rather than the metric system is because Liberians want to be unique.

      Do you have any source on that Myanmar use “mainly imperial”? They have for a very long time had their own units of measurement and from what I can find are they currently in the process of adopting metric. I cannot see that they ever switched to imperial.
      Or was it just an assumption that everything non-metric is imperial?

      I would consider the U.S. mixed. We have metric everywhere—even the redneck tools have metric.

      I love seeing how the US always want to be different to someone else kkkkkkk it is much more logical to use the metric system, such in terms of global standards, such in the way is much more concrete to visualize the metrics.

      For example:

      1km = 1000m

      1m = 100cm

      Etc.

      In the Imperial:

      1yd = 3ft

      1ft = 12in

      Etc.

      It is much more inconcrete

      And the USA doesn’t use Imperial; it uses the US Customary System, which is based on English pre-Imperial units. (1 US gallon = 3.785 litres; 1 Imperial gallon = 4.546 litres.)

      Yeah we’re very mixed here in 🇵🇰. Officially it’s metric but day to day everyone uses imperial because we never changed the underlying British imperial systems.

      Here in the States all of us have to buy 2 sets of tools unfortunately! Metric has become more common in the last 15-20 years at least in the automotive and industrial equipment world.

      I’m all for the US switching to metric, with the exception of temperature measurements for weather. Fahrenheit is better than Celsius IMHO.

      Panama is mixed, we use pounds (lb) for weight, inches (in) and gallons (Gal) in certain measurements, and basically the rest is metric.

      I’ll drink a litre of milk driving at 70Miles per hour, on the way to the shops for 400g beef mince and a 1lb’s of boiled sweets and a 15cm ruler – don’t try and stop me

      Jesus these people, give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.

    25. KatiaHailstorm on

      Is America the only country that’s split up by other countries?

    26. RYPIIE2006 on

      being a british person who uses metric while most other people use imperial is so annoying

      Fun fact: This map could be worse, but it’s pretty damningly horrible already.

      It uses outdated data sets, it mixes up Imperial with US Customary measures, and it assumes Myanmar uses (/more like used) Imperial when in fact they always used a mixed imperial and traditional system, and currently use a mixed imperial, metric, and traditional system.

      The US does not use Imperial units. The US uses US Customary units, which aren’t even defined in Imperial units and in many cases – mainly volume – do not correspond to Imperial definitions or sets. Both Imperial and US Customary systems nowadays are functionally just very weird reskins of the Metric system, as all their measures are defined in terms of specific metric measurements, such as the US inch which is exactly 25.4 mm, or the Imperial Gallon which is exactly 0.00454609 cubic metres.

      The UK and Canada use Mixed units. The UK uses both Metric and Imperial units, while Canada uses both Metric and US Customary units.
      Ireland uses by far mainly Metric, but at least a decade ago it was still common to measure yourself in feet and inches, and your weight in stone – a measurement the average American likely never heard of (which equals 14 lbs)
