∙ 13y agoIf by "English" you mean the original system of inches/feet/yards and so on, the US is probably the highest profile, if not the only country still using it. Most of the modern world, including England, is now on the metric system. Attached is a collection of measurement converters that may be helpful.

Where are some common places you have seen the metric system used instead of English units?
In case I read the question wrong, I am assuming you asked Where is the metric system commonly used instead of English units. The answer is everywhere EXCEPT America. The metric system is an international measurement system based on 10. France was first to adopt it in 1799 and it is now the basic measurement system used in almost every country in the world. The United States has yet to adopt it which is why American products, highway speeds ....virtually everything is still in standard English measurement. It is very very slowly coming into use commonly in America. It is incredibly easy to use, but in school you are taught conversion, which is hard, and absolutely unneccessary. This turned many people off to it.
