Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

The trick is to use at least some metric to maintain superiority over Americans.
Largely true but varies with age.
There are some additional options too; we often measure distance by driving time, e.g. six hours from Calgary, ten hours to Vancouver, and so on.
This annoys me so much because I only know metric and I have zero concept of scale for imperial. I used to work on a ship and like sure use knots for speed I can get that, but why are we using imperial for depth and water temp??
Imperialist system must be destroyed
