The spread of metrication around the world in the last two centuries has been met with both support and opposition. All countries except Burma, (Myanmar), Liberia, the United States of America and partially the United Kingdom and Canada have officially adopted the metric system, although actual usage may be more complex.
Famous quotes containing the word opposition:
“Except for poverty, incompatibility, opposition of parents, absence of love on one side and of desire to marry on both, nothing stands in the way of our happy union.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
