Best Answer

All countries use the metric system in some form. However, The USA generally uses Imperial and also its' own units (US liquid) of measurement as their standard. They also spell Metre, Meter,. and Litre, Liter.

So will the USA use a Metric or Meteric system in the future? More than likely, but due to the size and/or logistics of these type of changeovers, it may be several decades before measurement uniformity throughout the world becomes more standardized.

Yes. Most of the rest of the world except for the United States and one other country uses the metric system, measuring with meters, kilometers, e.t.c.
