Beer.

From the first access to what was then called MSN Messenger (and then I basically stopped using), I chose the nickname "wings (b)" so that my name appeared next to a nice mug of beer. I did it just because I liked it, and it took more than a year before anyone seemed to notice that I did it on purpose, since English ale means beer (or a type of beer , to be more precise). Since then I have at least one friend who calls me just Beer.

Here are the most common form of beer here in Quebec:

French	a une verre	pints	a pichet	une bouteille	une canes
English		half pint to a pint pitcher			in a bottle can
Quantity		284 ml 568 ml 1705 ml		341 ml 355 ml
	approximately 10 fl oz (imperial)	20 fl oz (Imp)	60 fl oz (Imp)	12 fl oz (Imp)	12 fl oz (USA)
	½ pint imp.		3 pints imp.	0.6 imp pints.	¾ pint USA

You will now understand that this long dissertation on the beer (for more caz ... er, curiosity about, I refer you to the excellent The Oatmeal ) it's all an excuse to introduce the real subject of this post: the units of measure.

If you think that the American system is crazy, you is not lived in Canada. Here officially using the metric system, but in practice many older units still in use, both imperial and American ! This situation becomes almost understandable when you consider that Canada is a member of the Commonwealth (formerly Empire) and borders with the U.S. (one of three countries in the world that has not officially adopted the metric system, along with Burma and Liberia ! ). But the trouble with the metric system in Canada is mainly due to political issues. Apparently, the conversion process began in the early '70s through the initiative of the Liberal government of Trudeau between obvious and continued controversy, until the Progressive Conservative Party (no joke ) came to power in the eighties, slowing and eventually stopping the process in mid-1985. The current situation is the result of this demonstration of political acumen.

To give another example of this madness beyond the beer in Canada road signs are in kilometers, railways miles.
short, if you had problems in elementary equivalence , take a brief moment of shame for the poor children in Canada.

Note: Most of this post was created under the influence of a rousse de verre. I know, not much, but I'm easy and so was my dinner ...
