Almost every country in the world uses the metric system…..almost.

There are still a few stragglers, like the United States, who use units handed down to them from the British. These are known as Imperial Units.

These units often confuse those living in countries that use the metric system….as well as those who live in countries that use Imperial Units. 

They don’t often make sense. They don’t have any consistency between units, and their histories are quite murky.

Learn more about imperial units and how they were developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
