The ones you are probably talking about are the metric machine fasteners (bolt&nut).
The wood and metal screws come only in ifp in US and I beleive in Cda too. So you get
only something like 1/4 x 2.
The novelty was that someone actually was selling wood screws to metric sizes: ex:
4x40.

Yes, that is exactly the case. The metric system is also present in
everything that is measured in the US, also hidden to the public. Those
DOT's who have reverted to ifp will still use metric, in a very crooked way
of course. I am sure that this person has never heard of the Mendenhall

I think France stole that one, Louis, from the English saying, "Rome wasn't
built in a day."
The American response (tongue in cheek) to the saying is, "It could have

Hi Don, et al.,
I recall that my father, who was once a pilot, always quoted the air pressure at sea
level as "ten-thirteen point two" from his flight training many years ago. Can any of
the Canadians familiar with aviation (Marcus?) tell me if hectopascals are/were used
in Canada?

To me there is a distinct and important difference between justifiable
