Summary

Description
English: Countries using the metric, US customary and imperial systems of units as of 2019. Only the USA uses the US customary system; Liberia, Samoa, Palau, Micronesia, and Marshall Islands use unknown (i.e. it is unclear which system they use) non-metric systems; it is impossible to clearly determine which system Myanmar uses; the UK and Canada use a mixture of imperial and metric systems.

If you opposed it, you should have given your reasons when it was first proposed. The lack of response can only be interpreted as implicit consent. The onus is now on you to obtain consent to revert back, not vice-versa.
