Liberia, Myanmar, and the United States are the only countries that don’t use the metric system

As Vox’s Susannah Locke wrote, “The measuring system that the United States uses right now isn’t really a system at all. It’s a hodgepodge of various units that often seem to have no logical relationship to one another — units collected throughout our history here and there, bit by bit. Twelve inches in a foot, three feet in a yard, 1,760 yards in a mile.” That’s why the rest of the world uses the metric system, where “all you need to do is multiply or divide by some factor of 10 — 10 millimeters in a centimeter, 100 centimeters in a meter, 1,000 meters in a kilometer. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C.”
