It is kind of odd when the US is the small minority in categories that from an objective stance seems backward.  Like being one of three countries not using metric system.

I'm inclined to agree that the metric system is more "logical," but has anyone been able to show that the US is at any serious disadvantage by using the imperial system? Have any disasters (human, scientific, economic, whatever) occurred because of it? Personally I like both systems - metric appeals to my logical/OCD side, whereas I like imperial because it seems easier to make ballpark estimations with it given its link to body parts that we're familiar with (feet, thumbs joints/inches etc).

Most of the scientific, athletic (and even retail work) that I've done - all in the U.S. - mostly uses the metric system.  A better representation of that map would be "Countries that still use something other than the metric system."  Which, naturally, could be in addition to using the metric system.
