    I think you’ve missed my point here. Something that is 6,300 mm long should be listed as 6.3 meters. Doing otherwise completely eliminates the purpose of a pure decimal system. People don’t even use the system properly, completely omitting things like decimeters.

      When I asked the boss, who has been in the business for a couple generations, why it says here 4000 instead of 4m, he said what I am telling you. So you don’t mix up measurements.
