In a anarchist society, you can use whatever you would like. Kokesh 2020!

^ oh and I was wrong apparently Belize and Jamaica also use the US system.

And Liberia (American settlement) and Myanmar (only country to wield furlongs (1/8 mile) much).

And to be frank, Britain's is half-swamped in this problem, too. They still wield some old unities as primarily.

There are only 5 countries in the world that still use Fahrenheit to measure temperature, the Bahamas, Belize, the Cayman Islands, Palau, and the United States.

And 2 countries that use imperial system, United States of America and Liberia (ex-American colony)

Yeah Britain is definitely inbetween to some extent which frankly makes sense. Metric and imperial both have there merits metric is better for more accurate scientific things while imperial is generaly better for describing distance of small things. There us also something comforting about mile apposed to kilometer.

I know that many Brits still use imperial units. Like for measureing how tall someone is (E.G. 5'8)

In a anarchist society

too bad no one wants it

United States of America is the ONLY country in the world that uses both a non-metric system as measurement and Fahrenheit as temperature scale.

good cus we r special

.. and stubborn

why are we gonna bother to learn a new system if we dont have to
