Metric vs. other measurement systems - chart

[neilbourjaily]

So then does metric phobia mean the individual is not afraid of metric but merely fails to grasp the understanding of the method

So then how do we reconcile the metriphobic with the metrosexual, another term I am unable to grasp. (snerk)

I wouldn't have any idea. nor to I even care

What I do know is once a part came in for repair the internal threads looked like 16mm2.00 pitch but turned out to be 5/8ths 12 TPI instead. A 16 mm tap would only go in a short distance before trying to cut new threads. I wouldn't have thought anything about that had all of the threads needed cleaning up after removing a broken fastener from the holes. but 3 of the holes were pristine and clean. and the new fasteners were proprietary in shape I ordered the proper 5/8-12 tap.

As TM51 once said who knew 12 was an odd number
