   There are still many electronic components, even those made in the Far   
   East, that fit a 1/10" grid. If you actually use measurements in real   
   life, you need to be able to deal with any system you may encounter. It   
   is also not unusual to see dimensions quoted in a strange number of   
   millimetres which turns out to be an exact number of inches. And don't   
   bother trying to find a metric screw to fit a photographic mount,   
   anywhere in the world.
