Best Answer

The world uses for measuring of mass or weight the SI units kilograms or grams. Only three nations have not officially adopted the International System of Units as their primary or sole system of measurement: Liberia, Myanmar and the United States. Scroll down to related links and look at "The not kilogram and gram countries".
