Try working in industry with Metric.
Go cut me a piece of 500mcm cable 3710mm long.... 
Do I need a friend to help me? How heavy is that?
I had a young trainee years ago that I had asked to get me a piece of material.
I asked for a piece 20 x 40. He returned with a piece 20mm x 40mm, a slight difference from 20" x 40" Considering the job we were working on, common sense should have prevailed
