Sure enough, in many disciplines linear measurements are expressed in
decimal format and even though you don't mention any units, 0.001 is
often referred to as 1/1000 of an inch. Or, if you are inclined to use
the metric system, this would be 1/1000 of a meter - which is very
commonly referred to as a "micron".


Interesting. I had always called it a millimeter g.
