Well Said!!!! I 2nd That!!!

That got fixed in 1958 when the International Committee on Weights and Measures decided that the international yard equals 0.9144 meter, making the inch exactly 2.54mm.

Basically, our non-metric unit of length is based on the metric system.

does the tape read in tenth's....is a "foot" marked at "10" units formally known as inches????
My measuring tapes, for appraisals are graduated in tenth's.....that way it can be loaded into a computer program, and easily read by the client....I had a young trainee once....she was looking at the tape, and scratching her head....she looked at me, and said...."I always thought there were 12 inches in a foot"....she was kind of cute, and I could see this was troubling for her....she adapted well...

It wouldn't claim to be inches if it was a decade measure like your tape.

tenth....33 years.....never heard "decade" mentioned for my tape
