This chart has been around for a long time and is getting out of date. It should now be called: How Older Canadians Measure Things. Younger Canadians are getting a lot more metric.
For example none of the younger people at my office know their weight in imperial. The most they knew were some baby weights they had to convert to imperial for their parents.
Really? I find that surprising. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone talk about their weight in kilos, aside from in medical contexts. I’m 37, but I work with teenagers; weight doesn’t come up often, but I’ll pay closer attention.
