Why the United States persists in using the imperial system of measurement is an age-old debate that the majority of the globe has with the country. Apart from Liberia and Myanmar, the remainder of the globe uses the metric system, as seen by the gray masses.

In America’s defense, the unit of measurement can be blamed on the British. When the British colonized America hundreds of years ago, they brought with them the imperial system. Since then, Americans have continued to utilize that system, opting not to join the metric system’s bandwagon.
