(BTW are you old enough to still think in degrees F and inch measurements? In Quebec one time, I was coming to a corner. The speed limit sign said "60". I thought that was pretty damn generous! I think I was 17 at the time and didn't even think that Canada had changed to Metric about a year or so before...

(BTW are you old enough to still think in degrees F and inch > measurements? Metric came along when I was in the 8th grade (1975/76), but it didn't really hit hard until the mid-'80s. I'm fluent in both measurement languages, but I prefer Canada's traditional measurement system. The federal government lost its passion for Metric after Trudeau left office, so Canada is now a hodge-podge of Metric and Imperial. Anything officially controlled by the government is usually (but not always) Metric. Anything left to the people could be either, and often is. What bugs me most is that they teach the kids French in school, a language that's utterly useless outside of rural Quebec, but refuse to teach kids Canada's REAL "second language", which is Imperial. My daughter is the only one in her class who knows that a yard is three feet, and that there are 12 inches to the foot. Sad. > > In Quebec one time, I was coming to a corner.

That was the year they changed all the speed limit signs. They added little "km/h" signs under all the revised speed limit signs, just so you'd know. Some of those are still around. -- Tegger |
