Then don't complain about accuracy. It is there, but as you say, you have
chosen not to use it as a matter of principle. Remember that OOo was
originally a German office suite which Sun Microsystems bought. That means
the basis for all measurements within the suite is metric.

I hope you are wrong and that internal, as opposed to user interface,
measurements are more intelligent than that. Something along the lines of points
and picas would be sensible.

So, why not take full advantage of what the suite has to offer?

I do!

Your statements about the metric system seems to be a little harsh, and I
personally question the validity of that remark. You are free to use whatever
measurement system you want, but please do not show you prejudice in what you
say about what you don't want to use. Such statements fall into the same
category of making bad remarks about either MS Office or OOo. None of them
are really needed.

Who said irony was dead?
