    You clearly don’t live in Canada. Imperial units are very common for measurements. You ask nearly anyone, old or young, their height or weight, you’re getting an answer in feet/inches or pounds respectively.

    Tons of baking is done using cups, tsp, tbsp etc.

    Golfers use yards.

    I’m sure there are more examples I am forgetting, but you get the idea. It’s not just people who grew up before 1985. It’s everyone.

        It’s almost like things aren’t black and white.

        Canada is officially a metric using country. Metric is everywhere. That doesn’t mean we can’t use imperial for anything.
