	Well, I grew up using inches, but I use metric when I'm
	building anything.

	Why?  Because sooner or later you are going to have to divide
	a distance.  Then you are stuck trying to measure 2.3 inches
	which means attempting to measure three tenths of an inch with a
ruler
	marked off in eights of an inch.

	It is a whole lot easier to go with the flow and use metric.
