That's right, Dick.  But when we're talking "around" or "about", we round off 
to make the conversation a little shorter.  If you take 3.28 feet as equal to 
1 meter, we've rounded off the 3.28 feet from 3.28084 feet.  A little easier 
to say 3.28 than it is to say all the way out to the 5th decimal place.  The 
same goes for 1mm.  It's actually .03937008 inches, but sometimes we round 
that off to .040, since it's so close.  The only time that will ever matter 
is when a machinist has to hold that dimension within ñ.00000025....:)
