No. 6 especially when you consider the other places besides the U.S. are places where nobody has jobs anyway.

#2 Countries that do not use the metric system.

Can I tell you how much I hate the dry/wet measure system for baking we have here? I get it, in frontier days we had a cup, and that was the cup we had for drinking, measuring, but it's so much easier with metric.
