From a business article:

"Microsoft's voice-activated digital assistant, Cortana, which Canadians could previously only use by lying about their location, is now officially available in English Canada (the French Canada localization is due sometime next year) on all devices. Like Google Now and Siri, Cortana keeps track of appointments and interests, issues reminders, answers questions, and learns the users interests and needs over time. Microsoft says that her Canadian personality, in addition to being up on local sports and jargon, acquainted with both Imperial and Metric measurement systems, and being able to correctly pronounce Canadian place and personality names, is optimized for politeness."

Does this imply that the American English version of Cortana is ignorant of the metric system?!" So Americans need to choose the British English version? I wonder.
