    When I started to drive in the US it was much easier reading permits lol. Having to convert meters to feet(I understand both, however feet is more popular than meters) is a pain. There, it's just English lol.

    Yeah, but aren't the overhead clearance signs in metric, or is that just in Ontario? The first time I saw the sign of the truck with the "4.6" I about lost my sht. All I had time to do was eyeball it real quick and hope for the best.

    I learned that in a tanker I could clear 4.6m and 3.9 easily. I wish someone had clued me in before I left the terminal. Would've saved on laundry.....

    All across the country it's metric.

    The first time I ran an oversize load from Edmonton AB to Elliot Lake ON I shat myself at every bridge. Most of the clearance issues were in ontario(whadda feck you gonna hit in SK or MB? Lol.)

    Pretty much everything I've seen is metric. I know of one rail bridge over 16 in Alberta that you can still see the height marked in feet in faded paint.

    Is the oven temp control on your kitchen stove marked in degrees F or degrees C? What temp scale do the recipes use?

    We typically cook in F but measure our outside temperature with C.

    The stove measures in F mostly. My mom has a new stove- it is F only. My old one with a dial for the temp it has both just like a speedometer I think. Hard to recall... on the road right now and hardly ever use it when I am home.
