I think its all our stupid americans fault. We had to come up it inches and 1/4s 1/8s 1/32s. Millimeters are just so much easier. Whats after 8, 9, 10. Wow thats easy. However kilometers and meters are stupid. Miles are so much better. I guess we arent that dumb.

Kilometers are stupid?

How many meters in a kilometer?

Yeah, thought so.

The metric system rules...to bad us americans are to pig headed to make the switch!

Oh well our loss. I'll have to keep working in .001", bummer
