there are other countries that still use imperial. Britain officially uses metric, but there’s a lot of imperial in common use. most people will tell you their height in feet and inches and their weight in stones and pounds. you buy pints at the pub and older generations will probably give you estimates of distance in miles

apparently also Liberia - a country set up by Americans - and Myanmar still use imperial
