Metrication In Canada
#25
Peterbilt,May 30 2006, 05:49 AM Wrote:Hey chaps,

I am doing a small research on metrication issues and would like your input. Assuming that Canadian schools have all gone metric a long time ago, I want to ask you about domestic unofficial units of measurements - units that you use in a comfort of your own home

    <>
  1. Short distance? [metres or feet]
    <>
  2. Long distance? [km or miles]
    <>
  3. Temperature? [Celcius or Farenheit]
    <>
  4. Volume? [Litres or Gallons/Pints/Qt]
    <>
  5. Mass? [kg/grammes or pounds/oz]
    <>
  6. Land area? [ha or acres]
    <>
    [st]What I am asking is rather in what units you think. I am particularly interested in people who were born in Canada and studied in schools after they all had gone metric.

    Cheers!

Short distances - metres (aside from measuring people, that's still ft &amp; inches)
Long distances - KM
Temperature - C
Volume - Litres
Mass - both
Land area - acres (I blame my dad for that, asa greenskeeper he still thinks US measure because that's how all his supplies are shipped to him)
