Most of the world uses the metric system for measurement. The main units used outside of the U.S.A. is the metric system or SI (System Internationale).
United States
Meters, liters, kilograms.
The main unit in the metric system is the meter. It measures length.
The metric system is used in all countries. It is the main system of measurement in every country except Myanmar(Burma), Liberia, and the U.S.A.
The main advantage of the metric system is that it is very logical. One example that illustrates this is water. 1 litre of water weighs 1kg 1 metric tonne (1000kg) of water will take up the volume of approximately one cubic meter Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C These simple concepts make metric calculation very easy.

No. England and the US are the main places still using non-metric units. The metric system was invented in France and the French use grammes (grams) and kg.
United States
The 'Meter'.
The main advantage of using this is remote access on the network.
Yes The metric, or SI, system is used by scientists in every country.
First of all, the metric unit IS the standard unit. It is the international standard, and only a few countries don't use it yet. It is not any more accurate - the inch, for example, is defined on the basis of the meter, so it is just as accurate. However, the metric system can help avoid confusions - for example, different countries used to have, and in part still have, different definitions for the pound. The main advantage of the metric system lies in its standardization - people all over the world using the SAME measurements.
