deep wrong!
a mm is one thousands of a meter - an internationally defined and fixed length.
one inch is defined as 25.4 mm or 0.0254 m -> there is no standard for it!
and what about 17/32" ? crazy! industrial specs now are all required in decimal
notation and therefore the importance of 0.001" or mil or, better yet, mm!
...and please keep off terms like ounces, pints and the like... the world IS
metric and not owned by the Empire!
