I still can't get the hang of it after all these years, I was out of school before the conversion kicked in....I still use inches and yards when I sew, I haven't a clue about about the metric system.....sometimes I watch the Buffalo news just to see what the temp is  |

In one of our cars we have the temperature on the rear view mirror. Hubby sets it to celsius; I set it to fahrenheit. |

I spent age 10-15 living in Chicago and I always convert to farenheit and have NO clue about the metric system. Acutally that's kinda sad  |

Since I work in a school, I have to get use to the metric system. I still like to convert kilos to pounds, but have gotten use to the temperature stuff.
Recipes, I like in cups and tsps., etc.

Interesting. I grew up in the US so always did the "old" system. I've now lived in Canada for 30+ years and think in metric these days. I do have all my kitchen measuring stuff in both as I have some old cookbooks......

I've lived in Canada all my life but I'm stuck half way between each system. I think in pounds, not kilos. But Litres, not gallons. I use cups/tsp, not mls., and celsius not farenheit. I use miles and kilometres, and I use inches and centimetres. :roll:

Honestly Lori, I can't remember. I just know I'm exactly like Anna, I keep switching back and forth. The temperature, I think only in celsius now, but when it comes to weight, I think in pounds. David says it's just because I'm stubborn!!  |
