Description So, here's a post of the (technically) three countries that still use the old Imperial system: The United States, Liberia, and Myanmar (as per the CIA World Factbook)

Granted, while the United Kingdom still technically has the Imperial system in place, the Metric system in itself is the more dominant system in the United Kingdom

Now the United States attempted to convert to the Metric system in the 1970s with Gerald R. Ford's Metric Conversion ActΒ that declared that the Metric system would be America's preferred system over Imperial/U.S. Customary, but Ronald Reagan decided to U-turn this in 1982 and decided to keep the old system in place, although there are Americans that want the U.S. to convert to the Metric

But what about Liberia and Myanmar? Well first off, Liberia is similar to the United States and uses the U.S. Customary system (so technically the Imperial system), but have said they would convert to the Metric system sometime in the future, but so far... nothing new, and secondly, Myanmar itself had its own system of measurement, but also used Imperial, and just like Liberia it has said that they would convert to the Metric system as well, but again... nothing new

Anyways, as a Canadian, I thought I would say... the Metric system is far more superior, anyways, whenever I make art is when I see you all next
