"The United States is one of three countries that doesn't use the Metric System."
So we get that half-truth repeated again. Cute, I suppose, but not accurate. As we have discussed here before, the U.S. is not non-metric. It is legally metric and is in the provess of transition to the metric system, with many industries already full converted (pharmaceutical, beverages, etc.).
Those who constantly repeat the "non metric" half truth would have to include Canada, Britain, and several other countries that are also in the process of transition.
