outline of the metric system
most countries have adopted the metric system officially over a transitional period where both units are used for a set period of time. some countries such as guyana, for example, have officially adopted the metric system, but have had some trouble over time implementing it. antigua and barbuda, also "officially" metric, is moving toward total implementation of the metric system, but slower than expected. the government had announced that they have plans to convert their country to the metric system by the first quarter of 2015. other caribbean countries such as saint lucia are officially metric but are still in the process toward full conversion. in the united kingdom the metric system is the official system for most regulated trading by weight or measure purposes, but some imperial units remain the primary official unit of measurement. the uk has only partially metricated.
