If you’re a Canadian writer and spell the Canadian, I’d love to know what you do about a forty-two inch flat screen television.
Canadian’s use the metric system, so should it be a 106.68 centimetres? Or maybe 1.0668 metres?
Both seem rather silly to me.
I think using inches is okay in this case.
Any opinions?
Thanks for reading . . .

I think you’re good with inches. I’ve never heard anyone refer to the size of a TV in anything but inches, although using metres makes it sound bigger to me for some reason.

I think I agree with you. Inches it is.

Here in Australia we also use the metric system, but we do refer to televisions in inches.
What gets confusing is trying to cool from an American recipe…..

Honestly, we Canadians use inches to describe measurement a lot. I think in inches rather than centimetres, and pounds instead of kilograms, and I know a lot of other people do, too. Dunno why. Maybe because we watch so much American television / movies!

So true. Confusing life for Canadians.

I notice my younger friends use kilograms and centimetres more, to describe weight and height in particular. 😉
