If there were a standard for metric threads around the world it would
speed the adoption of metric nuts and bolts in the US. As it is I can
purchase bolts from Houston and nuts from Cleveland and know they will
mate. The same is not true if I buy nuts in Japan and try to mate them
with bolts from Germany. They may or may not work together.
