I also learned metric alongside imperial when I was a kid - Canada DID go full metric in the 70s (I still have a "thinKMetric" ruler! note the "KM" for kilometer). As a result, I only know weight in pounds, height in inches and can only bake with cups and tsp/tbsp. But distance is all in meters and km. So weird!
That is a fascinating little bit of history you noticed! Well done!

I loved going home after school and converting stuff around the house into metric weights and telling my family .I am sure it was not annoying after the first month of me doing it. :P
I keep hoping we decide to switch to metric officially in the United States, but the movement seems dead right now. Fingers crossed that we will switch someday.

IтАЩm sure you were only a little annoying.ЁЯШБ
Canada never went full metric except in terms defining speed. Distance, temperature, mass, and volume are still expressed both ways.
