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

[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 & 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)
