    True. The U.S. is one of them.

    In reality, while most countries don’t use metric and imperial, they do use metric and some other local system of measurements. Many countries use both metric and their historically preferred system.

      What non-metric system does Germany use? What non-metric system does France use? What non-metric system does Poland use?

          Have you like… Read the articles you posted? I think you might have to re-read what a non-metric unit if measurement would be. All the “units” listed as “still in use in Germany” are based on the metric system. Just because one calls 500g/0.5kg a pound doesn’t make the unit non-metric, it’s base is metric, same goes for all the other units there. The only non metric unit I see ever is inch because that’s what displays are marketed in for you lot and we get the same displays here as you.
