Ok. Canada finished converting in 1985, there’s bound to still be a lot of people who grew up with imperial. “Current or former imperial using countries” then.

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.

Then you are not actually a metric using country obviously. Wtf are you arguing about?

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.
