:: However
:: others in the UK use mil means millimeter

When I worked in for a certain hearing aid and heart pump 
manufacturer, in the pick and place room or talking with the stencil 
designers, you'd get 'that component placement is 3 mil off' , and I 
would ask is that thou or millimetres - I'd either get blank looks or 
occasionally - 'what's a thou?'

The P&P machines used metric for placement and interesting angles - 
-920 degrees was the one that got me.
