Yes, it's the standard in Europe and most of the industrialized world. The US uses non-metric as well as metric (for scientific and shipping purposes)

Actually ireland went metric in 1971 with, we held off till 2005 to change the speed limits to metric.

The metric system is a much better system, we should try to use it more as the imperial system is an antiquated dinosaur

yes

Answer 9

Yes, we use both systems correctly.

We also use other systems, such as imperial weights & measures, driving on the left and answering the question we are asked (as opposed to the one people think they asked).

Answer 10

Officially yes , but we still use imperial when we measure a persons height/weight  , distances we use both (depends who you talk to) size of a room could be measured in either to , that would come down to age , generally speaking metric is getting more and more the norm due to the younger generation learning metric in school , I would say that maybe in about 20 years will will be fully metric , we are about half and half right now
