At my vet office the scale is in pounds; in the chart the weight is recorded in pounds and my vet always converts to kg before prescribing a medication, but they still don’t want to switch the scale to kg. 😊

I remember many years ago renewing International Flight Crew ID, I believe it was Universal Aviation https://www.universalaviation.aero/ But I clearly wrote down in the height and weight box 173 cm 67 kg. I came back that my Height was 67 inches and my weight 173 pounds. I had to call them and get it changed, which they did. Again, why have feet and inches on an international ID?

A few years later, another physical and that office used pounds. A few months ago I applied for passport, form had field for height where I entered height in cm. Person at the desk told me that they won't accept it but I insisted it to be sent that way. Anyway, application was not declined, but passport came back with non-metric units written in it. That is where it makes the least sense, as passport is here to be readable my all other countries... all other that don't use feet and inches. On Thu, Sep 26, 2019 at 11:42 PM James R.

Sparta has a population of just over 5000 people and it's the county seat of White County, in Middle Tennessee. When asked for my height and weight I gave them in meters and kilograms and they were recorded without a flinch. Now, I cannot say that the staff didn't convert those values later, but at least they didn't act like they've never heard of metric units or thought that using them was strange. Not bad for a small, country town. Jim -- James R.
