Canadians typically talk miles or Fahrenheit when speaking with Americans if: they are old enough to have a feel for conversions or have spent significant time in the US or UK.
Now, measuring weight in stone is absolutely fucking ridiculous but so is eating bacon fat on toast.

The US can't even spell it right.
