Follow-up: Inches Overseas

Europeans measure the strangest things with inches:
... wearing six-inch heels confirm ... with four inches becoming the norm ... wore a five-inch-high pair ...
Does America really export that much fashion?

Earlier I posted pictures showing how monitor sizes are still quoted in inches.

Inches overseas




Computer/laptop monitor sizes in Europe are *not* reported in centimeters, as one expects, but in inches. A 19" monitor is a 19" where ever you go. I don't think I've run across anything else in inches.

TV screen sizes are reported in cm, though.
