Here was the event that caused the irritation about the system of measurement yesterday.

I needed 3MM solder but some but not all solder sold in the United States is sold in imperial measurements.

Who can convert 3MM to inches in their head? 3MM = 0.1811 Who can convert 0.1811 to MM in their head.

3 divided by 25.4 = 0.1811

0.1811 X 25.4 = 2.99974 or round up to 3

I want to buy a damn roll of solder not do math conversion formulas or ask the internet to do the conversion.

I want to buy it in English and I don't want to need to remember it is called soldado in Spanish.

This would have someone else issue to solve in the past because I would have ask for it in person or on the phone. I rarely buy anything in person or on the phone any longer.
