    Gotcha, so we’re talking kilotons and microinches then?

    Or is it actually the units that make the metric system scary to Americans?

        Yep, I hear them referred to as “mils”. Although for more casual usage it’s far more common to use 1/x^2 measurements like 1/8" or 13/64". Thankfully my job has only really needed up to the 32ndth.
