Another Canadian here (Maritimer). With temperature I find many people talk about the weather in Celsius but the temperature of their homes/thermostats in Fahrenheit. Swimming pools also measured in Fahrenheit.
Gym weights, except in Olympic lifting competition, everyone talks lbs.
While in the UK I noticed everyone measures weight in stone (1 stone = 14 lbs).
- eru 14y agoYes. The gym weights I found in the UK where in kg, though.
- dcminter 14y agoI used to think in stone. But I don't need to know my weight very often and when I do it's usually for ski bindings at european resorts - so now I find myself thinking in kilograms. The only non-metric unit that I think in now is miles - and there are obvious safety/legal problems in switching our speed limit road signs to kilometers.
