I agree about the stupidity of US holdout on metric. Having worked in 
drafting and CAD since 1974 to about 1996, it has been a royal PITA all around.

It take a 2 nanometer database to avoid any roundoff error in the world of 
computer interer arithmetic. This is not a problem.

Here's the real question? Would a man go on a blind date with a woman with 
90-60-90 cm measuremants weighing 55 Kg without first consulting with a 
calculator?

Metric is superior in that is allows us to move a decimal point for different 
applications. Angstroms for atomic scientists, microns for chip makers, 
millmimeters for circuit boards and most part that go into cars, meters for 
architects, and kilometers for highway construction.

Hey, why not 5,281 feet to a mile?
