Who is still using the imperial system in Canada?
Try being in agriculture.
Hell, I have to clarify what type of bushel a line company is quoting prices for oats in.
Officially it's all metric. Everyone i know or ever met uses a combination of imperial and metric.
Trades, architecture, engineers, railways, weights and measures people from industry Canada, aviation, roadwork, steelmills, steelworkers, coffeeshops, farmers, clothing, textiles, restaurants, recipes, and many more!
I suppose you don't live in Canada? Imperial is everywhere.
Trades - except electricians apparently
Try to buy wire in mm2 and watch the guy at the electrical supply counter look at you like you have 3 heads.
Good point - but they sell it by the metre. Aaarrrggghhh
"I suppose you don’t live in Canada? Imperial is everywhere." ... 🙄

I could add to your list btw, but not with that attitude of yours.
I didnt mean anything by that.
What does the dial on your oven say? 350°?
