I have noticed that too. Several weekends ago, I went zip-lining in
Whistler, BC. I found it most interesting that their website lists
zip-line lengths in feet, height above the creek in feet, but
traverse speed in km/h . (See http://www.ziptrek.com/joomla/content/
category/5/40/207/ )
As an off-topic note: pictures and videos of me zip-lining are on my
own homepage at http://web.mac.com/scott_hudnall/
WARNING: I make a rude gesture (in jest, of course) at some former co-
workers in one of the videos and one of the pics.

Saw an interesting show from Canada about the Rockies. All the
scientists used metres and kilometres and so did the narrator.
Then I was surprised to hear the narrator use "feet" in the next
program about the Atlantic coast. I guess there are still
transitions at work.
