Ok.... I know that there are 3 countries that still use the english system. I know that for a fact because my chemistry teacher told me. I think it is Yemen and one country in Africa... maybe Liberia.

Good question. As far as I know, we're the only dorks who do that. Makes no sense to me, just because we have to be different! I've had to learn metric anyway, if I ever want to be understood when traveling to other countries.

While it is no longer official in Canada, many Canadians continue to use it a great deal. In fact, a strange hybrid system has eveolved in which most people use a combination of the two. For example, most people give their height and weight in Imperial measures, but must convert them for medical or legal purposes (such as driving licences); Distances are nearly always given in miles, but people measure speed in km/h. Produce and meat are priced in kg and g bust sold in lbs and ozs.

I vaguely remember hearing Liberia still using it. And that's it...

None other than the U.S. Even the ENGLISH use the metric system now.
