NGD plus question...

[Lucius Paisley]

How so?!
In your post #3 you said..." I don't know what effect it would have on the tuning stability". I'm just affirming to you that you don't need to worry about that.
And then there's your response to Ehdwuld in your post #10 when he pointed out your gross error in math (the difference between 24 and 25.5 is indeed correct at 1.5", not .5" as you said). And I'm not sure (or should I say...I haven't got a clue) what the heck you were even saying..."I'm questioning the rationality of using decimals when referring to inches, not the distance between the lengths". I can only conclude from your 2 responses that you were either drunk or high and didn't even know yourself what you were saying, because neither of them make any sense.
So the real question is...What's your problem!?!
Sober up and get a life.

I wasn't talking about the difference between the two numbers.

So, what's the problem with using decimals when referring to inches? Do you think that decimals are only reserved for metric? You would prefer fractions?! So 25.3" would be better said as 25 39/128"?

I say, decimals for everything.

So long as we are being pedantic, those aren't the same numbers. If we require 1/128" precision, it would probably be an issue that 0.3" sits near exactly between 38/128" and 39/128"

Yes. And metric.

Yes. And metric.

Well, yeah. The US should have switched over in 1979.
