    Same, as a Canadian I wish we just had everything in metric instead of 70% of things. If systems of units were money, metric would be paying with dollars and cents, while imperial is paying with sheep and bars of gold.

      I also hate that we are loosey goosey with date formats. What day is 07/08/23??? I hate that the US uses MM/DD/YY format but at least they are consistent about it.

        That’s either July 8, or August 7th. Depending on… Well. What whoever was writing it meant 😁

      In that case, sign me up for an imperial monetary system, that sounds awesome.

      You had me at sheep.
