The United States is the largest and most economically important nation that steadfastly refuses to convert; the only commonly used metric unit that's made much headway in the US is the liter, and that specifically in the form of the 2L soda bottle (it happened that the bottling industry was switching to plastic instead of glass when the government was flirting with the idea of converting, and they decided since they were replacing all their bottling equipment anyway it would be a good time to switch to the new units).
Also, while the United Kingdom officially uses the metric system, vestiges of the traditional system remain and it's not all that uncommon to hear people speak in terms of miles, yards, or pints there.
Besides the US, Burma and Liberia also do not use the metric system.
