Labview support both actually. No problem at all. Labview use the settings current used by windows. And the same concept apply to most of the software designed at least for windows.

By the way how do you manage to fit both a 1/2 pound burger and a a liter of Coke (which I hope is diet coke), in your stomach during the same meal. I am impressed

You'd laugh, but we often mix the 2 systems.

Although the metric system is nearly fully used in Canada, we still use imperial for construction.  I'd hate to try to find 800 mm nails.  3-1/2 nails are what you buy.  When I build something, I use inches.  If I want precision, I switch to metric.

Now temperatures is a different story.  Imagine people in LA when we tell them it is warmer in Canada and tell them that it is 30 degrees while it is only 70 degrees in LA.  LOL!  We then have to try to estimate that 30 deg C is roughly 87F (guessing).  I do enjoy the fact that airports in the USA show tempertures in deg C (and F).  

I guess that makes us a bilingual country.... with measurement systems..  LOL!

But we buy our meat (hamburger) in pounds and soft-drinks in litres.  😄

Our body weight is also usually in pounds..  Women in Quebec weigh themselves in kilograms and thus appear to be lighter..  LOL!  😄

Costco meat <hamburger>  about 1 inch thick.

Eat only 1 burger very slowly.  

Rhum in the Coke helps.

I guess, its a time for rename this topic from "Be careful with formula node!" to "Be careful with hamburgers and Coke!" (especially with 0,5 pound burgers) 🙂

We could avoid the ambiguities by switching to Roman numerals and only using fractions and integers.

Not that I am actually recommending this....

ROFL!  😄 😄 😄

LOL!! Yikes..  That's not exactly what I meant..  inches for measurement unit.  

We use regular nails, made in USA for the most part.

You mean to say those 100kph signs I saw on my road trip to London, Ontario meant kilometers per hour? I thought they were all typos. I wondered why I kept blowing by other cars in my huge American gas guzzling 77 Olds 🙂

Haha, yeah.  I went to Toronto from Michigan and my mind was boggled by being able to go 100.  And also I learned some French too.  Sortie means exit.

Well. eventually I did get pulled over by a trooper,

I tried to explain that I wasn't speeding and he had this confused look on his face,

He said. "You are talking funny", Tried to bribe him out of the ticket with the quarter pounder and 2 liter Coke I had. but it did not work, The dozen. well actually 13. donuts from the baker didn't get me out of it either,

Went to court to pay my ticket. but the American dollars i had did not match the Canadian dollar. it must have been in metric dollars,

On my way back to the States I ran over a 90mm nail in the road. had a hard time finding a 245mm-60-15" replacement tire,

That was the last time I ever went to the great country of Canada,

I'm so confused,
