Countries which have not adopted the metric system. (Note regarding the United Kingdom and the United States: Data indicates UK was metric in the 1960s – they made a decision to go metric in the 1960s and made a legal commitment to do so in 1973 as part of its conditions for membership in the EEC (now the EU), but then did little about the decision. The UK now uses a combination of metric and imperial units however, and it is illegal to sell products weighed only in imperial measurements but imperial units may be shown alongside metric weights; imperial measurements have not been taught in schools since the 1970s but most adults and children know their height and weight only in imperial units. The European Union no longer requires the United Kingdom to convert completely to metric. This is similar to the situation occurring in the US, where metric is a legal system for lengths and weights, though its metrication process has been very slow due to public pressure and lack of funding.)
