Hi,
I see a mix of mil and mm (millimeter) units? Isn't mil also millimeter?

Sorry, but in my eyes "thou" is exactly as ambiguous as "mil". :-\
It could mean a thousandth of about /everything/.
Maybe it's from my european background, but additionally I have never
heard "thou" before, except for Olin's post and yours - but "mil" is
pretty common and (for me) unambiguous for tens of years... I never
would have imagined someone could misinterpret it - one more evidence of
small differences in language that can be dangerous...
