We’re kind of stuck between 2 systems still. Most people weigh in pounds, we cook in Celsius, our lumber is 2x4 for building materials.
We’re kind of like England where they’re metric, but their roads are in miles and their gas is in gallons and their weight is measured in stones or hogs heads, or bags of bad teeth or whatever.
What size is a Canadian glass of beer? A British pint (568ml) or even fraction thereof, the same but with an American pint (about 470ml), or an even number of decilitres as in continental Europe?
Generally, we use imperial, not US customary units, though there are exceptions. Weights and Measures act has a pint at 568ml, but I swear I’ve also seen both us pints and 5dL depending on country of origin.
It’s a mess of mixed units all over the place, some by proxy, other by legacy.
I can order a pint of beer or a 12oz glass of wine
Americans at least have 1, 2, and 3 liter soda bottles! Booze is 750ml bottles!
I guess that’s all we really care about. ;)
