I am doing a small research on metrication issues and would like your input. Assuming that Canadian schools have all gone metric a long time ago, I want to ask you about domestic unofficial units of measurements - units that you use in a comfort of your own home

1. Short distance? [metres or feet]
   <>
2. Long distance? [km or miles]
   <>
3. Temperature? [Celcius or Farenheit]
   <>
4. Volume? [Litres or Gallons/Pints/Qt]
   <>
5. Mass? [kg/grammes or pounds/oz]
   <>
6. Land area? [ha or acres]
   <>
   [st]What I am asking is rather in what units you think. I am particularly interested in people who were born in Canada and studied in schools after they all had gone metric.
   
   Cheers!
