This is completely incorrect. SI units exist and they're pretty much based on metric units. It's still a separate unit system.

Wait..
What?! The SI system IS a metric system and doesn't really differ from the systems used in most countries in day to day life. Perhaps by using Kelvin instead of Celsius which is basically the same unit of measurement but with different starting points.

Yeah the metric system is built on top (and a part of) of the SI system, not the other way around.
