I often see (and use) the term "metric" as a particular kind of
measure. However, I have had difficulty in finding a clear definition.
This is made more difficult because of the more common use of
"metric" as an adjective denoting the system of measurement units.
Please tell me what I mean when I call something "a metric."
Thanks.
