    I’m Canadian and I measure in metric. Imperial units can go die a painful and fiery death. The sooner the better.

      Can you even buy appliances like ovens that display °C instead of °F in Canada? Recipes are still all pretty locked into sharing imperial units with the US.

        I tried 3 years ago. Wasn’t possible. It’s F only.

        Edit. I was wrong. Turns out I CAN switch my oven to C. I didn’t poke the settings enough.

        I’ve never used an oven that didn’t have a setting to switch between them.

      I’m in the US. I work in metric if I’m at home and doing my own project but I need to speak imperial if I go to the hardware store, lumber yard, or talk to literally any other person around me.
