We've been slow to adopt the international standard units for sure, but
perhaps this represents progress. Some years ago we would have used
only SAE bolts and arrogantly scoffed at the notion of using metric
ones. Now we mostly accept that both types exist and we need to have
both tool sets and be able to convert the units. Maybe in another
generation we'll be on board with metric bolts.

This will drive Europeans nuts.
At least with a radiowaves 1' or 2' dish you know it is all SAE and to
