The crazy terminology of each industry, it keeps everyone confused ;-)
I had occasion to work briefly in an English shop fairly recently after the
UK had officially converted to the SI system, and they used the term "mil"
which was confusing to me for about three minutes, after which I realized they
meant "MILimeter." (for those of us who are metric-challenged, that's 0.001
Meter). Jan Rowland
