The final disconnection of the USA from the world

Look at this map of the world. And start to understand how the USA is getting more and more disconnected from the world. This map shows the spread of the metric units of measure system in the world in blue. The orange part is where they have their own units of measure. The influence of American English in the world has been big because it in a way continued the British empire. But they (Americans) forget that after Chinese, actual Spanish is the most spoken native language in the world.
