Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

I've never needed to use imperial for long distances for work? Not sure what that's about.

And don't get me started on woodworking or the construction industry. Plywood panels are length and width in imperial but thickness in metric or imperial.

No, you got that backwards. If it's a long distance: km. But small distances for work is feet and inches.

I think it's because when you do a claim it's still called mileage, even though you log Kms.

Same when buying cars, number if Kms is still referred to as the cars mileage.

I was thinking the same thing!
