There's a still one or two outliers who have mainly metricated but for various reasons still use some non-metric units, eg the UK still using pints for beer and miles and miles per hour on the roads.

Then there's us Canadians. Distances between land based locations in kilometers, Height of person in feet/inches, depth of precipitation in milimeters, weight of person in pounds, weight of food in kilos, weight of (workout) weights in kilos, weight of despair in short tons. And if you touch the maple syrup its measured in years in prison. Unfortunately we don't seem to have a measurement in either imperial or metric for the density of stupid in certain social media groups, but I suspect it would be in tons per cubic centimetre.

<and yes, we mix the spelling types up as well, just to confuse everyone else>
