Non-Frequently Asked Questions About Millimeters to Feet

Questions nobody should ask - but someone did.

A '2x4' starts as 2 x 4 inches of rough-cut lumber (50.8 x 101.6 mm). After drying and planing, it becomes 1.5 x 3.5 inches (38 x 89 mm). The name describes what you paid for, not what you got. American lumber naming is optimistic marketing.
US men's size 10 is about 279 mm (0.915 feet). Size 12 is about 305 mm - almost exactly 1 foot. If you wear size 12, your foot IS a foot. This is either poetic or unremarkable depending on your perspective.
German houses are measured in mm. American houses are measured in feet and inches (typically to 1/16 inch = 1.59 mm). German construction tolerance is typically 1-3 mm. American tolerance is similar in practice but described differently. The precision is the same; the notation varies.
