Try living with a research chemist for 30 years !!

Most people {Americans, anyway} *think* in US and convert to Metric - she
*thinks* in Metric and has to convert to US measurements !!

I've learned to let her be ACCURATE and I do the converting when I have to.

Just ignore the decimals, William, and stick to whole millimetres - you'll
still be more accurate than those who work to the nearest 1/16"
