You occasionally see that. I don't remember the context, but I noticed some measuring device that was obviously based on imperial units rather than the more common metric. Optical scales have been metric for some time, at least for the most part. But there isn't any reason that should be true, they print them. Now, if only someone would start importing all-metric scales (rulers) into the U.S. instead of the hateful metric/imperial mixed unit scales that would be great. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
