LOL! Did anyone notice J Schweisthall's post? (euric/kilopascal/denial/jeremiah/etc) He reads the posts here and if the post points to a website he goes to that website - actually joins the site (despite probably having no interest in 'home model engine machinists') - and then posts the normal (usual) anti-US bizarre guff. OF course he completely misses out the fact that even in Australia (and definitely in the UK) someone at the hair salon might use inches if the size fits the usage). This is what i was talking about regarding over emotional reactions to 'enemy inches' (in this 'war'). The interesting point, though, is if and how the casual use of inches in the salon pops up in English speaking countries. More interesting to me would be if they're used in non-English speaking countries - eg 'pouce' in France.
