the USA gets a lot of shit for not using the metric system and celsius like most of the rest of the world, but I think whatever Canada is doing is worse. distance and speed is measured in kilometers, but people's height is measured in feet and inches. food is measured in grams, but a person's weight is measured in pounds. the temperature outside is Celsius, but the temperature in your oven is Fahrenheit. and don't even get me started on how calendar dates are written.

#it's CHAOS #most countries use one or the other but canada decided ALL OF THE ABOVE #as an american living in canada it's been very confusing #i've had to learn celsius for weather purposes but my oven still uses fahrenheit #communicating height is easy but i still don't understand kilometers #the dates are really what gets me though #i've started the habit of just writing out the month instead of using the number #because literally everyone writes it differently #deeply deeply confusing
