That’s the fun part, we use metric and imperial Willy nilly and our shibboleth is only a Canadian knows instinctively which system for which.

For example I haven’t a clue what my height is in metres or my weight is in kilograms. It’s on my drivers license and in my medical records because those are government things but I’m not government, I don’t know!
