Until the 1790s when the metric system was adopted by many countries, there was no common system of measurements.
The United States signed the international Treaty of the Meter of 1875, which created permanent international committees to continually refine the metric system. The revisions were adopted at a General Conference of Weights and Measures held by countries using the metric system and resulted in the creation of the International System of Units. In 1965 the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa became the first of the English-speaking countries to begin an organized effort to adopt the changeover to metric.

∙ 15y agoI have forgotten the answer to that one---only because I hate using Metric. Inches and Yards and Miles and Pounds and Ounces and Pints and Quarts and Gallons seem very simple when you have been using them along with other people who have too, and the older population of the American system hate the Metric system. I especially hate it because it seems that it has been "pushed" kind of like the "Analog-to-Digital" (or is it "Digital-to-Analog"?) stuff being "pushed" now.

A metric watch measures metric time, so instead of 24 hours per day in metric there are 10. There are 100 metric minutes to each metric hour so therefore there are 1000 metric minutes per day compared to 1440 minutes per day in our present system. There are 100 metric seconds to a metric minute, therefore there are 100,000 metric seconds to a day compared to 86,400 in our present system.
