Why does Liberia and Myanmar and the US refuse to use metric rather than outdated and limited imperial measurements?
People don't like changes! It's confusing and can be very costly to switch all the signs. It's okay to stick with whatever units you are using if you don't deal with too many other people using different units from you. This is the case of Myanmar and Liberia. They are somewhat isolated. The US on the other hand is too large and very costly to switch for every day usage. However, metric is behind the scene in most cases. US units are defined in metric. One pound is defined in kg by the office of weights and measures base on a standard. The rest of the US units are similarly defined and measured in metrics. This is because there had never been a standard 'pound' to compare, the orginal 'pound', so to speak. There is an original 'kilogram' metal thing in France. There is a copy in the office of weights and measures.
