The spread of metrication around the world in the last two centuries has been met with both support and opposition. All countries except Burma, (Myanmar), Liberia, the United States of America and partially the United Kingdom and Canada have officially adopted the metric system, although actual usage may be more complex.
Famous quotes containing the word opposition:
“When feminism does not explicitly oppose racism, and when antiracism does not incorporate opposition to patriarchy, race and gender politics often end up being antagonistic to each other and both interests lose.”
—Kimberly Crenshaw (b. 1959)
