In otherwords its a nightmarish unholy mishmash just like our system of measurement.

Attend de voir le français Canadien.

And that's not a word.

It is now. It's streets ahead.

But it's a mishmash I know and love.

UK has a stupid fucked up mishmash of measurements too. Miles for speed and distance, stone for weight. Centimetres for height, mg/G/kg for food, ml/l for liquids and fuel.

Formally I don't believe there is any discrepancy; we're metric.

I haven't met a single person who doesn't do combat sports that knows their weight in kgs.

Sure, but that's colloquial usage. Same with pool temps and our heights. Any official government capacity though we're all in on metric.
