Whats the convention for metric measurement BTW? For example should one
write 150.2cm or 1520mm or 1.52m?

Either metres or mm; cm, although sometimes a convenient measure are not.

TMH proves the perils of mixing decimals and cm, by ending up with the
wrong length. I find anything under 10m is pretty easy to cope with in mm
