This problem isn't only an issue on facebook. It effects basically every social media site, including twitter, youtube, reddit, and linkedin.

There have even been issues with manipulation on Videosift---though the community structure here is very well designed, to combat that sort of thing.

I'm completely comfortable with the metric system despite being from the US and living in Myanmar. I also recognize its clear advantages, like any rational person would.

But, feet and pounds are still intuitive for me because of my primary education. The US will only shift when they refuse to teach USC units to schoolchildren.

Other than Yugoslavia and Czechslovakia there is the split of Sudan, name changes for Benin/Dahomey, Myanmar/Burma. Many are included as countries that are in fact possessions of other countries. (Puerto Rico, Guam, Bermuda, French Guiana). The Caribean is pointed to as a country but the actual countries of the region are left out mostly (Dominica, St. Kitts & Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Antigua & Barbuda etc). Like I said in my comment I'm sure this wasn't intended to be an absolutely accurate listing even for 1995 and things were included to make the song work. Gaum is rhymed with San Juan and neither one is a country. What can I say, I'm a trivia player whose strong suit is Geography. And don't get me started on places like South Ossetia, Nagorno Karabakh, Nakhchivan, Transnistria. People can't even agree on how to spell them let alone whether they qualify as independent countries. And I shouldn't forget Somalia, Somaliland and Puntland.

You better start using the metric system then.

On the other hand, the list of countries that don't use the metric system is:
- the US
- Myanmar
- Liberia

Oh yeah, that's a list you want to be on.... USA! USA!

This wow's me as to how much time/money for a temporary thing. Can't see this ever happening on this scale again.

(for those keeping score, Burma is now Myanmar, Ceylon is Sri Lanka )

It's Burma.

Calling it Myanmar lends legitimacy to the current government.

This sorta thing was featured on the new Anthony Bourdain show where he goes to Myanmar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ5hjJkManM

I just went to Myanmar in December but was not offered rubies, only cigarettes, counterfeit purses, fake Cialis, and zero day Blu-Rays.

*quality desire

(Don't boycott rubies-Steal them from white people and use some of the proceeds to adopt a family from Myanmar-)

The Myanmar Airforce sure has downsized since the 80s.
