As an old toolmaker, I agree. It's like Europeans suck at understanding math(s) just as much as 'Muricans. Fractions are NOT complicated, if a bit crude for precision. Not that either system matters much anymore. It's all just G20/G21 anyway. It's all either just a push of a button or a G-code away.
If the machine doesn't care about the units are being used, why should I?
Yeah. The older machines needed you to manually convert before using that code, but it is a non-issue now as far as making things with cnc. Measuring, though? People get weird.
I know. People are stupid. All of them on both sides of this ridiculous argument.
Anyway, I'mma go to the liquor store and get me 750ml bottle of bourbon and then pop over to the grocery store and buy 5lbs(2.3kg) of flour because I'm a cup of flour short to bake 2 loves of bread. Oh, remind me to get a pound of butter(454g) because I need 1/4 a stick of butter for the butter chicken masala I'm making for supper.
(I hope I added enough sand to everyone's underwear)
