We here north of the border have been metric for about 25 years (we've been speaking in Celsius temperatures for over 30). It's odd, but not surprising, that it hasn't crept south.

Of course I don't drink coffee, so I don't even know what a latte is. (But for the record, they look at you funny when you ask for ice in your pop, too).

Especially as it's so, so right. I love that the Dutch for latte (koffie verkeerd) literally translates as ‘wrong coffee’. Especially as it’s so, so right.
