In Australia, we're taught metric exclusively, and use KPH over MPH. But it is common to report your height height in feet and inches, and less commonly, bodyweight in stone.
- anotherevan 4y agoBodyweight in stone would be _very_ uncommon I think. Still occasionally hear baby weights reported in pounds, but that's usually only by the grandparents. 6 feet and over is tall, 5 feet and under is short is such a handy rule of thumb, which I think is its longevity for height - although any official form will ask for metric (centimetres usually).
- morepork 4y agoSimilar in NZ, but there are still imperial measurements in places, e.g. PSI for tyres, or inches when talking about TV dimensions, DPI for screen resolutions, a quarter acre section for a house. You might hear people talk about a "pound" of butter when it's actually 500g, or ask the mileage of a car, but expect the response in km.
