Because the metric system is the "System Internationale", and it is far more used in the world than Customary units. If you are from the U.S.or U.K., the common unit of measurement on highways and roads is miles; and for temperature, Fahrenheit. Visit Canada or any other country and the units will probably be kilometers and Celsius or centigrade.
Customary units are only used in the U.S. and the U.K.
The teaspoon measurement is commonly used in both the metric and English systems. In the metric system, a teaspoon is equivalent to 5 milliliters, while in the English system it is equal to about 4.9 milliliters.
No, pounds are not used in the metric system. The metric system uses the unit of measurement called kilograms for weight instead of pounds.
No, it is not part of the metric system. A quart is equivalent to .95 liters.
The English system of units, also known as the imperial system, is used primarily in the United States and includes units like inches, feet, pounds, and gallons. The metric system is a more widespread system of measurement used internationally, including units such as meters, kilograms, and liters. The metric system is based on powers of ten, making conversions between units easier compared to the English system.
The metric system in universal around the world whereas the customary system is only used in the US. For this reason scientists and mathmeticians all use the metric system because it creates a sort of universal language so there is no translating.
Because America doesn't know what we are doing when it comes to academics.

The metric system (SI, to be precise) is used everywhere in the scientific community, and most of the units are used in practice in most countries of the world.
In the SI, that is the kilogram. (Older "metric systems" used the gram instead.)
An inch is such a measure.
Only three countries still cling to the "English" system, whereas the whole world uses metric. The SI units were established in 1960 as part of a review of the metric system used at the time; it uses metric units because it is the current version of the metric system.

The English system is a system of units of measurement commonly used in the United States, which includes units such as inches, feet, pounds, and gallons. It is distinct from the metric system used in most other countries.
