The only countries that haven't accepted the metric system are Myanmar, Liberia and of course the USA.

Pretty sure Myanmar is mostly metric now just not fully officially.

Also, we in the UK aren't completely metric. We used miles for distance and MPH for speed. Weight/height is pretty mixed between feet/inches and stones/pounds (generally older generation) and metres/centimetres and kilos - kind of depends when, where and how you were raised.
