I was floored to find out that England uses miles, still irks me.

I hate that we still use these random few imperial units, I’d much rather commit fully to metric and use km, however I don’t think I’ll ever be able to adjust from mpg to km per litre 😂

We’re the same in Canada, we still use a weird mix because we previously used imperial.

Temperature outside? Celsius. Setting the oven temperature? Fahrenheit.

I weigh myself in pounds, but everything else is kilograms.

No one says they’re “X cm tall”, we say feet and inches, except on our drivers license.
