Scanner and printer resolutions are similar. Even in France, "600 DPI" is
translated "600 PPP" for "points par pouce." No attempt to quote resolutions
in metric units. I consider this to be a simple artifact that computers were
developed mostly in the U.S. rather than a global conspiracy.
I
same as TV screens, cited always in centimeters but if you look of the
model of the TV you will mostly see: 28, 32, 36
disappointing!

Possibly you could post the article itself.

Remarks

An art
From the coming of the first home computer, the
computer industry marketed the screens (and much more) in inch sizes in
Western Europe and fooled the computer users into adopting it.
This nonsense is still going on.
I think that the computer industry tried to
start up the world wide adoption
