<“ their not going to make yardsticks any longer “>

Kinda / maybe - in Canada .

We have been given guidelines : - to keep 6 feet or 2 metres apart .

*******
A metre is roughly 39 inches - so 2 metres = 6 foot 6 inches .
SO OUR “ YARDSTICKS “ DID GROW .
lol
*******
Canada went (semi) metric in the mid 1970’s . To this day there remains a mixture of
Imperial and metric in real life . I am sure homebuilding carpenters know both

The school systems moved towards teaching metric only fairly quickly . So if you graduated grade 8 around 1980 you probably learned both / after that - not so much .
That means if your under 50 you could be more comfortable in metric and over 50 in Imperial measurements.

Back in the mid 90’s - A customer who was “ between husbands” - told me - when she was in a singles bar ;
her personal rule was “if the guy only knew metric - he was too young .”

I was in middle school in the 60s in extreme northwest Washington state, really, really close to the Canadian Border. In grade school music class we sang America The Beautiful followed by Oh, Canada. (With "Roll On Columbia" thrown in for good measure, just to keep the state happy.) So things were pretty blended. I learned both metric and Imperial in school, before Canada went metric. No idea why they taught both, except I remember them saying the USA was going to be using metric, too, like "the rest of the world." Didn't quite happen like that for us. But metric doesn't scare me, and as long as I can convert between feet and meters, even mentally, I'm good to go.

I was in elementary / middle school during the Carter administration, and that was when there was a big push to go metric in the US. I remember having specific lessons being taught, and it seemed to be a popular topic in the "Weekly Reader" most weeks. However, it just faded away after a few years, as I don't recall anything in high school about it (I started HS in 1980).

Where is pop corn?

Actually, I like mixing Plain M&Ms and Starburst Jelly Beans. Great movie snack.

The Coronavirus has achieved what no female has every been able to achieve. It has cancelled sports, closed all bars and kept all guys at home!
