Are they standard or metric?

<rant>
The world standard *is* metric. Metric is used in every country other than the USA. If you mean the measurement system in the USA, that would be the imperial system.

To make it worse, the USA has been a metric country since 1866. But congress didn't follow through (aint' that a surprise?) and ditch the imperial system. And 14 decades later, here we are -- officially metric, except that few here (besides scientists, engineers, doctors, etc. and certain ranting curmudgeon videographers) use it.

That always puzzled me. Even UK, the makers of the imperial system, have switched.

Puzzling? I prefer to use the term "mind-boggling."

While Canada is officially a metric country, in reality the only thing we regularly deal with in metric is speed limits.

We buy butter in 454 gram blocks. I've never described my height as 185 centimeters or my weight as 95 kilos. I work in heavy industry and 90% of the drawings I see use inches and feet. The country may be metric, but the people are most certainly not.
