[USMA:12511] Today's Parent

[CarletonM]

This is a parents' magazine published in Canada.  They have a web site and
send out an e-mail newsletter.  One item featured birth announcements:

5. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT

Welcome your new little bundle of joy online! Our Birth Announcement section
makes it easy to share your news by posting the date your baby arrived, as
well as details of the birth and a photo if you wish. Check out the Birth
Announcements currently online!

Curious, I went to look.  (You have to register and log on to get there.)  
The announcements were all in FFU.  I went to the form.  It had mandatory
entries for pounds and ounces (ONLY).  For length, the default was inches but
you could select centimeters if you wanted.  (No parent did.)  It's been over
20 years in the True North Strong and Free.  What gives with these parents
and the web sites and birth announcement systems that cater to them?
