JH> 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.

That's pretty good!  One is missing: AREA.

Is it small - Maybe.  'cuz our standard sheet of paper is 8.5x11", biz cards are 3.5x2", but measuring the dimensions of a box might be in metric.

Is it large - Maybe, 'cuz I've only heard land referred to in acres.

Ciao!
