In a message about hard drive heads the other day, Jinx commented that the
the millionth of an inch measurement was a horrible phrase, or word to
that effect.

How about calling it a micron then?

A local paper, (the Australian Financial Review), thinks it is.  The
article was gushing that car maker Holden CNC machines have an accuracy of
1 micron, 1 millionth of an inch.

Australian only been metric for 40 odd years, I guess change is a bit slow...
