Today while at work I had a couple of interesting
experiences that I thought I'd pass on. The first was a woman who came in
looking for an adapter to fit a standard 2.5mm headphone jack into the larger
3.5mm jacks on a TV. I handed her the package which was labeled " 2.5mm to 3.5mm
conversion cable", and she promptly asked me why it wasn't labelled in inches. I
responded that I had never seen those jacks referred to in anything but
millimeters and she responded with "Well I'm American so I shouldn't have to
deal with metric displayed on the things that I buy. We use inches and feet
here"
"Things are changing. Adapt
yourself...."
Now you may not be able to actually say that, depending on
the situation, but that's all the more I'd let it worry you.
