Pure hell of growing up metric and being forced to use inches is - what's half of 1-7/8" Metric: half of 44mm is 22mm. half of 45mm is 23mm [1]. half of 46mm

Pure hell of growing up metric and being forced to use inches is - what's half of 1-7/8" Metric: half of 44mm is 22mm. half of 45mm is 23mm [1]. half of 46mm is 23mm. Trivial - which one is bigger 5/16" or 3/8" Metric: 9mm is obviously bigger than 8mm. Fractions are just unnecessarily complicated. [1] Millimeters are small enough that you'll never need to go below that except in specialties like machining.
