Youre still allowed to divide up a meter into fractions if it makes your math easier, my point with inches and fractions was that there is no way to describe something smaller than an inch with a simple integer number, there are no nano-inches, and if there were, they would probably be a new entirely arbitrary fraction of an inch.

I mean technically true, but I get the sense metric users aren't trained to use fractions. Do European carpenters use fractions, or fuck around with 7 significant figures?

Europeans know how to do fractions and use them except we don’t need to apply it to measurements because our system isn’t bad lol

Trust me yank, if you use metric your whole life it’s easier than imperial

i mean north american machinists use thousands of an inch or (0.001") which is in the same realm as a micrometer
