IMO, the reason we have fractional measurement
You're gonna love this rabbit hole:
The inch is the smallest of the named units. The smaller dozenmal units (line and point) have fallen out of use, the point is now used for similar sized units of 1/72 (printer's) and 1/100 (rainfall). Gry, the smallest of the older divisions of the inch, and one of the words ending in those letters, is 1/120 inch. A twipp, as used by computers,is 1/20 printers point, or 1/1440 inch.*
I'm twipping out wight now!
