@arcana @anemone @mischievoustomato @jeffcliff @sun I don't really care who defines what as long as it's commonly understood. The foot/meter are standards set by a government (or at least declared to match by a government to some science nerd definution— functionally the same). Industry decided that a so-called '2x4' is 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches (and they even used nonsense logic to shrink it multiple times compared to the 2x4s of old) and it works just fine because it's understood. I'm for pragmatism in this case.

  because every 2x4 is sold at the reduced size. Legend/marketing BS says they start at 2x4 and the same thickness from cutting trims it, then it's dried (implying they do that well enough) then planed for further reduction.

  if I bought a 2x4 and it was 1.5x3.5 I would be returning it
