Depends on who. Every thermostat in my house is metric,
including the food thermometer. But the oven is still in F. But
I do know my height in ft and metric and my weight in both as
well. Prices are SHOWN in lbs, but they are legally in metric.
In fact, I had to teach a guy last week that he violated the
law. I had two bags of grapes and he put them on the scale
together. I told him that he just violated the law. He didn't
know about TARE. He reversed it and reweighed them seperate.
Saved me a little money. But he should have been trained better,
because if Industry Canada caught that, the fine is ENORMOUS!
And worse, in this province, would leave the business open to a
class action lawsuit.

What about stones! Do you know your weight in stones? I watched
a You Tube a couple of days ago, an interview with Patrick
O'Brian, who wrote the wonderful Master and Commander book
series. He was asking why the Americans lost weights in stones.
"You once knew them, you know," he said.
At least we still have pounds, with a bow to our English
masters, and a thumbs down to the evil
French and their metric system. Just kidding, of course. I love
the French and their cuisine (except their total failure with
breakfast), their language, and the logic of the metric system!

No stones. Heck, most people aren't even sure of how many ounces
in a pound. We don't really weigh anything but ourselves in
pounds.... all legal scales are in metric. The supermarket lists
a price per pound and then actually uses a rate in kg and a
scale in kg. I look at the package and know my kg prices.
