accuracy
To whom it may concern. I am writing today to propose a clarification on the accepted hand gesture for ‘a bit’. The gesture in question is when one holds up one’s hand with the thumb and index finger held a small distance apart. I propose that the distance between the digits be set at 14.4mm. The reason behind this is that this is the difference between the accepted rule of thumb metric conversion of 1 yard (900mm) a conversion that is a bit more accurate (914.4mm). It seems a minimal difference between an inch being 25mm and 25.4mm, but that rounding really makes a difference when lengths converted are increased. I feel that regulating this will assist the public at large to make everyday life more accurate and efficient. I shall be looking forward to the ensuing parliamentry debate.
