Thanks for that, but I assumed that millimeter is an universal measure. Obviously it 
isnīt, while it still exists in the majority of the countries of the world. When will 
your part of the world go metric finally ? - Off course, here they also still talk in 
pounds (sometimes - but fading out), in deka(grams) in Austria ( = 10 grms), Zentner 
(100 pounds or 50 kgs) & Doppelzentner (= 200 pounds or 100 kgs), but not more in 
feet, fists, dozens, klafter, acre (we have ar = 10 x 10 meters = 100 sqm  and ha = 
hectar = 100 x 100 meters = 10.000 sqm), no miles except GB, but kilometers (1000 
meters), etc.
