hunter152, correct me if I'm wrong, but Hawaii is also an American state, so it's only 3 countries.

As Wikipedia (fountain of all knowledge) says: "Three nations have not officially adopted the International System of Units as their primary or sole system of measurement: Liberia, Myanmar and the United States."

You can't say the UK is metric, just yet. Distances are still sadly in imperial units (miles). Other than that, the UK is mostly metric.

Malaysia, the one just below Thailand, officially uses the metric system but the old ways never go away. Why should it when it's good business, especially in regards to weights and measures. You see, over here the traders rip off the people by using low tech balances to weigh stuff. And they use local units of measurement for trading. Of course, there are modern machines to do this but like I said, what for?

My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I likes it!

Dear MrAnon,

1/2 shilling?

that's sixpence  idiot!!

Oliver its 4 countries alaska isnt a country its a state owned by America i think the imperial system is getting to you guys

In the U.K. it's still pints of beer.and miles per hour,also ounces of gold + grass,

and six-feet tall!

And still no Euros.

 And in horse racing ,they must run a few furlongs to win the 1,000 guineas .

All very metric!!

..and, of course, we blame it on the Americans!

Yes, and there's Canada.  It's 10C outside, but I cook chicken at 250F, the news says we got 2.5 cm of snow, but my friends say "1 inch," if I ask directions I'm as likely to be told kilometers as miles, we use 8.5 by 11 inch paper, but my gas is sold by the litre...

Only 3 countries: Liberia, Myanmar & the US

The Brit's don't care for the Frenchy metric system either, and I don't blame them. Thats my 1/2 a shillings worth at least

Only five countries don't have the metric system including the US...maybe it is time US got caught up with the world.
