The U.S.A, Liberia, and Burma and the United Kingdom use the Imperial System. Miles, Yards, Feet and Inches for road signs. Almost everyone weighs themselves in Stone and Pounds. Though in The UK the EU tried very hard to 'Metricate' the UK, and turned it into an Imperial-Metric society. In the UK, you buy fuel in Litres, but refer to a car in Miles to the Gallon (MPG). Official recordings must be in Kilograms but people use Stone and Pounds. You can buy loose food in Pounds and Ounces as well as Metric. Only Roadsigns, and Draught Beer can be measured in Imperial, Miles and Pints. Milk is still sold by the pint.
It is now becoming more common in the UK for milk to be sold in litres (500ml as opposed to one pint, 1 litre as opposed to two pints etc...)
Countries that do not officially use the International System of Units (SI) include the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar. These countries predominantly use the US customary system, imperial system, or their own traditional units for measurements.
Metric sockets are measured in millimeters while imperial sockets are measured in inches. Metric sockets are commonly used in countries that use the metric system, whereas imperial sockets are used in countries that use the imperial system. It's important to use the correct type of socket to match the measurement system of the fasteners being used.
It uses both. The Bahamas are officially metric, but many road signs are in miles.
Yes, the metric system is the most used system. Only a few countries out of many still use the Imperial system. Even in the USA, where the Imperial system is still in use, the scientific disciplines use the metric system because it is universal.
The two types of measurement systems are the metric system and the imperial system. The metric system is used worldwide and is based on units of ten, while the imperial system is primarily used in the United States and is based on historical British units.

Canada overcame the strong influence of the nearby USA, and begantheir conversion to the metric system several years ago.The number of countries that officially use the 'old imperial' or 'customary'system of weights and measures, and their names, are easy to remember.There are now exactly three of them: Liberia, Burma, and the USA.An exclusive club if there ever was one.

Most countries follow "International System of Units " for measurements.This system was officially introduced in 1960 .
As of 2016, the only countries that do not use the metric system are the US, Burma and Liberia. All other countries use the metric system.

Miles are a part of the Imperial System (or US customary system). The only countries to use this system is the United States, however, Liberia is also considered to use this form of measurement. You will find Liberia listed as a Metric Nation and as an Imperial Nation (in form of measurement systems); this is because Liberia does not have an official system of measurements. Liberia tends to use the Metric System in forms of international trade and business, but will tend to use the Imperial System in forms of internal usage. The United States is also a Metric/Imperial Nation, however, it is more Imperial than Metric and you will probably never list it as a Metric Nation alone. Myanmar (Burma) also does not use the Metric System, however, they do not use the Imperial System; they have their own system of measurement known as the Burmese System. However, there are still many Metric Nations that still use forms of the Imperial System. For example, the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Australia, the Bahamas, India, and Malaysia still use some forms of the Imperial System, but are official Metric Nations. Many other countries fall under this category as well, mainly countries that were at one time a part of the British Empire (as the Imperial System was made by the British Empire).
