Global warming is caused by the imperial system of measurement because everyone is now turning their thermostats down to 69 for a chuckle.
I use a weird hybrid of both systems. Kilos for weight feet for distance. Who knows why.

I do similar, when I got ‘called on it’ by the Americans I worked with, I told them Canadians were bilingual… 
And then segue into the story of the Gimli Glider as a cautionary tale as to why the US changed their mind about going metric…

I’m a Boomer and I remember in about the 4th or 5th grade (about 1964-65) they were saying everything would be metric in just a few years. And here we are.

We do have a worldwide system, it’s called the metric system. By the mid 70’s most countries had converted so we could have a world wide system. Now there are only 3 countries that use Imperial. U.S., Liberia and Myanmar, lol. So 192 countries use metric, 3 use Imperial. Can’t really blame that on the Boomers, lol.

Not entirely true.
In England, speed limits are in MPH.
" Imperial system:
What are the imperial system measurements
The imperial system of measurement is defined as a system of measuring quantities such as length, mass, volume, area, etc in the units that are commonly used in the UK, and other commonwealth countries. The units used in this system include inches, feet, pounds, gallons, tons, fluid ounces, etc."
They don’t go down to the pub and drink a litre, they drink a pint.
And I think Canada still uses an Imperial Gallon for gasoline sales?..not sure, haven’t been over that way in a bit.
