How can I know that this is 45.7

[@greenpedal370]

You can't have point ten. It's totally illogical.

[@BedsitBob]

Agreed. It's point one, or, if you prefer, point one zero.

[@greenpedal370]

@@BedsitBob Zero is nothing. It can only be point 1. Of course to be true to SI units it's actually comma 1.

[@BedsitBob]

@@greenpedal370 It's a turn of phase. For three hundred and ten thousandths, would you say "point three one o", "point three one zero", or just "point three one"?

[@greenpedal370]

@@BedsitBob But this refers to a metric scale.

@@greenpedal370 Fair point, but it still applies to metric. If I were recording a list of measurements, and working to thousandths of a millimeter, I'd write it like this:- 1.233mm 0.331mm 1.130mm 2.225mm 5.120mm I certainly wouldn't write it like this:- 1.233mm 0.331mm 1.13mm 2.225mm 5.12mm And I definitely wouldn't leave off the 0 before the decimal point, as in .331mm. That would make it messy, and difficult to follow.
