Only the US doesn't use the metric system, everyone else in the world uses it (to my knowledge).

 

And Canada!

Canada is a metric country. The only non-metric countries in the world are the US, Liberia and Burma (thanks to Wiki). That doesn't mean the obsolete units aren't still being used in some metric countries like Canada or the UK, of course

 

Wow, really? I thought large parts of Asia were non-metric. Guess I was wrong then (unless you somehow consider Asia not to be part of the world ).

 

No, they're officially metric. Whether they're in fact metric is another subject. I mean, I'm sure a person in rural China isn't likely to use metrics, he'd use whatever unit they use there instead. But I suspect in big cities they use the metric system (or at least they use it together with their old system)
