Oh good grief, did I really write that? I'm sorry, I meant to say:
"""[...] since there's one-thousandth of a meter in a millimeter, we can
go the other way and say that there are one thousand millimeters in one
meter. """
I can debug code with some fluency, but I have to do better to debug my
English. *grin*
