Can't believe Canadians use fahrenheit for cooking. Must be because of American cookers.

Any Mexicans here? Is it the same there for cooking?

Ireland: everything is metric except....

  • human height, very slowly changing
  • pints in the pub
  • human weight for older people who still use "stones" (this is quickly declining towards zero). A stone is 14 pounds.
  • I think some plumbing stuff as a hangover
  • edit: oh yeah, TV's as someone else pointed out

    I think mexico is weird because officially it uses metric and a lot of people know that, but as you go north closer to US you get people who say millas, libras etc. This is my experience as a non-mexican who spent a few months over there and drove all throughout it.
