I'd like to throw out a blanket thankyou to all my reppers and an apology for not always returning the favor. My time now is usually reserved for the IDI tech section. Im on the "two jobs and a newborn" scheduel.

When we learned the metric system, it was going to be the universal standard of the future....40 years later we still don't use it, what a waste of educational time.

I learned metric when I lived in England for 8 years, took me awhile to get used to the standard system here. I am still dangerous with the metric system but not as good as I used to be. I actually prefer it, but its worthless here unless you are working on a car and need to know nut sizes

All I know bout metric is if it looks like half inch but aint its 12mm and so on with 3/8-10mm, 5/8-15mm. What I cant figure out is when i'm working on something I know is metric and I get that random 9/16"

Yup, 12mm is .47 so nearly 1/2.
