[QUOTE="lindie, post: 8804, member: 1466"] metric's not so horrible once you get used to it. much prefer to read a set of verniers in metric for one thing, and face it, a tacho reads in 1000's of rpm, not 25/32's of the available revs before explosion. are multiples of ten really that evil when a standard oversize is generally 20 or fourty thou equating within a bees privates of half an and a full millimetre? standardization doesn't suck either with you two lots on either side of the pond having your own definition of a gallon. i still describe things in inches as thats a better general measure when asked the size of a part at work but for fiddly **** i'll take a millimetre and it's brethren any day.
