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.              Someone on Reddit made a flowchart that I think sums it up nicely:              https://bit.ly/3CdJNh0                     Jay              ...
