To all Canadians on this list:
In your experience with immigrants, how much effort do
they put into learning FFU?
With road signs, maps and automobile instrumentation in
kilometres and metres, do immigrants bother to learn miles and if they do, do
they have a comfort level with them?
With gasoline sold by the litre, weather forecasts in
metric units and store scales in kilograms, do immigrants bother to become
familiar with FFU? It would seem that even if they tried to learn FFU the
lack of real references to aid in understanding would prevent them from ever
having a real grasp of FFU.
When one comes from a metric country and goes to another
country where metric is used I would suspect the person would just continue to
use metric as he already has experience with it. Is this the experience of
immigrants to Canada?
