Oh, that's a whole conversation unto itself.  It depends on what you're measuring.  We buy gas by the litre and drive in KM/h, but body weight is in pounds, our height is in feet & inches yet Toronto is about 100km from my location.  Air temperature outside is in celsius but water/pool temperature is in fahrenheit.  Most recipes are in cups, table/teaspons and our ovens are also in fahrenheit.

Someone on Reddit made a flowchart that I think sums it up nicely:
