    Short distances should be meters, feet, inches, millimetres.

    American machinists go a different way altogether: thousandths of an inch. So no binary fractions, but still imperial-ish. :/

    And milk is often actually in litres and half litres, we just assume it’s in pints.

    That one makes sense.
