[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1817186, member: 12520"] I suppose it’s odd to people not from here. Our vehicles run on either miles or km’s depending on how we set them. Most everyone leaves them metric. We weigh our cattle at home by the pound, we buy our feed by the pound. But we buy our beef by the kg. We know our own height and weight in feet and pounds (well, maybe some kids don’t, I’m not sure). Us older folks use either system for distance, but metric is more common now unless your in the country then we use imperial because our land is surveyed in quarters and sections so it’s easiest to use those for reference. Nobody uses Fahrenheit anymore, and only people my age and up even understand it. We buy our fuel by the liter, most of us are starting to understand fuel mileage in liters per 100 km’s a little better now…. We are officially metric, but it’s good to be bilingual. Helps us with our Yankee friends that refuse to join the modern world. [/QUOTE]
