At least with the metric system you can measure small things.
What's smaller than an inch? Eighths of an inch?

Why are the inches in my ruler divided in eighths and not tenths, if there isn't even a name for those?

Just try using your (commie)metric measurement at the lumber yard.

they all still use Imperial sized wood converted to metric

e.g what size door would you like sir?

1981mm by 762mm please

one 2’ by 6’ door coming right up

"They" don't, though.

The UK is a useless comparison, because everything was built before metric was phased in. Of course they still use feet and inches.

I wasn't trying to "get you"

Just that 3" by 4" is now called 75mm x 100mm nominal

For that cm is used. [This](https://dostawaokien.pl/en/blog/door-sizes) is how the standards seems to look.

> Standard sizes. Most often, these are doors with a width of 80-90 cm and a height of 200-210 cm.

Wow, sure that must have been crazy, right? And if you think "2 by 6 foot" is accurate enough - for customers it's the rough cm value, for practitioners it's mm-precision. Even that 2 by 6 foot will have some standardized calculation to have precision.

And we know our body height, so 210cm vs ~180cm means 30cm is free above your head. No inches and feet and elbows necessary.

Americans do use metric to build things:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_the_United_States


*Although customary units are used more often than metric units in the U.S., the SI system is used extensively in some fields such as science, medicine, electronics, the military, automobile production and repair, and international affairs.*


So you are the kike who has no idea how things are built.

> Of course we use metric, this piece is 30.48cm.

I've actually built things that have gone to space, you build nothing but discord.

If God wanted us to measure things smaller than we ought to see, he would have made them bigger. Microscopes are inherently Satanic.

If God didn't want us to see things smaller than our eyes can see, he would've made us retarded so we can't figure out how to make microscopes.
