Lol. Get used it mm pal. The US isn't dominating industry any more, if they ever did. It's getting hard to find things measured purely in the archaic system. The US Navy still uses yards and will for a long time. Otherwise most of the government is metric. We are just following that lead in the rest of the US, just very slowly as the oldsters die off. It won't be much longer until the US finally just gives it up.
