Okay but explain fractional inches and why this proves that the imperial system is flawed
Whoever thought having to say "it's 13/64 inches long" was a good idea needs to fuck right off.
American are like "cut 37/64 and 52 thousandths of an inch off your 2 by 4 inch piece of wood, that's obviously not 2 by 4 inches", and don't get me started on wire gauge.
Ever bought 6/4 boards but in board feet?
No, I live in the metric world. I just watch some woodworking etc. videos by Americans for entertainment, and get horribly confused and annoyed.
It is not an ideal way to sell wood.
