Surprising fact – Three countries in the world to join Metric System

June 21st, 2011 No comments

Metric system

Are you aware of the fact that there are only three countries in the world that are yet to adopt/follow SI Metric System as their primary or sole system of measurement.

The International System of Units is the modern form of the metric system and is generally a system of units of measurement devised around seven base units and the convenience of the number ten. (Wiki)

It is the world’s most widely used system of measurement, both in everyday commerce and in science.

Myanmar (Burma), Liberia, and the United States of America are the three countries not following SI system.

I am surprised to see why USA is yet to adopt the international standard!!!
