I have a better idea: just use metric.
I try to fully metrify my workplace and my teammates are receptive because everyone knows imperial units suck.
I came in here hoping to understand how to measure a Canadian. Height or circumference at least…
the fun thing is that this graph is more-or-less accurate (I don't have a pool so I can't judge that one) for me despite being an American with no connection to Canada.
This is extremely accurate, as far as I've seen in western Canada.
I wish this was all in metric
I always use milliliters and grams for cooking, unless it’s measuring volume of something solid.
I also use time for long distances.
I only use fare height when forced through the means of technology that for some reason hasn't been legislated to provide sane units mandatorily when sold in Canada
The exceptions to this would be lumber. Then occasionally I get pissed off at any Canadian company (or even government form) that refuses to follow our own standards. For instance federally, its recemmoneded to use YYYY-MM-DD unless you're writing out the month with three letters or more in which case you can use the insane states method. Yet consistently in forms I input the date wrong cause they do whatever that other format is
