....inches - inches??

Why is a Japanese-Engine Fanatic not fluent with metric, as that's what the
Japs use too?:))
How ever there is hope - I understand even Boeing is doing its airliners in
metric, ....or not?

Just to pick a little more .....3 grains to the inch, 12 inches to the foot,
3 feet to the yard, 2 yards to the fathom, 1 SM is 5280ft .....it makes
sense!!
10 mm to the cm, 10 cm to the dm, 10dm to the meter, 1000 m to the
km........ how does that work???

I don't want to start with using fractions when using a caliper or wrench
sizes or drill bit sizes ..........:))

Come on- what's so complicated about using newton-furlongs when torquing bolts?
