Did you know that only Buma, Liberia and the United States have not entirely adopted metric? To be fair, Canada is at best partly metric since most people still talk about themselves in feet and pounds and not meters and kilograms.

We haven't fully adopted metric either in the UK. Our road signs still say X miles to the next service station or whatever. And speed signage is in miles per hour.
