We officially use metric.
The reason you see so much imperial is because of proximity to the US and sourcing data.
We sell clothes and shoes with US sizes. I know what my waist and chest size is, but I actually have no idea what those measurements convert to in real units. I know what 10cm is. I have no idea what 10 inches is, other than it’s just shy of a 3rd of a meter.
I cook a lot, both indoor and outdoor. I know I cook my steaks to 135F, which is <shrug> in real temperature, but I know that’s medium rare. My oven is F only, and so is my smoker. All of my cooking thermometers are F only. Any recipes or directions I get for cooking are usually in F because they are American sources.
Yet, my car and house thermostats are in C, because I know what those measurements are. They are meaningful to me.
Believe me, I want nothing more than for everything to be measured in real units, but until we stop buying so much from the US, it’s not going to happen.
