In Scientific American (a largely metric publication), September 2002 issue, page 88 is a photo of an "atomic micro clock" with a ruler for size. The scale of the ruler is in millimeters. The minimum rule is at 0.5 mm.You are right. There is nothing wrong about fractions, or about learning them. It is only the way they are often used in outdated garbage like ifp or until very recently on the American stock exchanges.
The ruler is inscribed "1/2 mm."
