An article on pollution in American cities @
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=534&u=/ap/20020305/ap_on_he_me/pollution_lung_cancer

is fully in SI except for this sentence with a weird
fraction. 
'2.5 micrometers. That is about 1/28th the width of a
human hair.'
First of all human hair differs from person to person
and from male and female, so what makes them give such
a precision of 1/28.  Do the Americans love the
fractions.
Anyway please read it for the sake of health of
yourself and your family.  Metric people will love it
since it is 100 % SI.
