Yes, the metric system is the most used system. Only a few countries out of many still use the Imperial system. Even in the USA, where the Imperial system is still in use, the scientific disciplines use the metric system because it is universal.
I was taught the imperial system whilst a schoolboy in the UK, many years ago. So I prefer imperial rather than metric. But, as metric is becoming the norm, I have become familiar with both systems.
Scientists use the metric or SI units of measurement.
both imperial and metric system is used but scientist use the metric system the most.the metric system is also called the international system also known as the SI unit.
The metric system and standard, or English, system are two sets of standards that are used for quantifying weights and measures.
Miles are a part of the Imperial System (or US customary system). The only countries to use this system is the United States, however, Liberia is also considered to use this form of measurement. You will find Liberia listed as a Metric Nation and as an Imperial Nation (in form of measurement systems); this is because Liberia does not have an official system of measurements. Liberia tends to use the Metric System in forms of international trade and business, but will tend to use the Imperial System in forms of internal usage. The United States is also a Metric/Imperial Nation, however, it is more Imperial than Metric and you will probably never list it as a Metric Nation alone. Myanmar (Burma) also does not use the Metric System, however, they do not use the Imperial System; they have their own system of measurement known as the Burmese System. However, there are still many Metric Nations that still use forms of the Imperial System. For example, the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Australia, the Bahamas, India, and Malaysia still use some forms of the Imperial System, but are official Metric Nations. Many other countries fall under this category as well, mainly countries that were at one time a part of the British Empire (as the Imperial System was made by the British Empire).

Both imperial and metric is currently used in the UK. The metric system is exclusively taught in UK schools. So, eventually, as children become adults, the metric system will become the norm. Resistance to using the metric system is usually from adults who were taught the imperial system when they were schoolchildren.

The cgs system. That is centimeter-gram-second measurement system.
