==International inch==

Historically, the inch has referred to several slightly different units of length, used in different parts of the world. There was little uniformity; different countries, and even different cities within the same country, used their own standard length. Today there are two units called the "inch" still in use, both being largely confined to the [[US customary units|United States]]. Other countries, which previously had their own separate definitions of the inch, have converted to using the metric system instead. However, the inch remains a common and popular unit of measurement in the United Kingdom and in Canada, along with the mile, pound and others, despite official attempts to eradicate it. When the inch being referred to is not specified, it almost always means the '''international inch'''. 

The international inch is defined in terms of the metric system of units to be exactly 25.4 [[millimetre|mm]]. This definition was agreed upon by the U.S. and countries of the [[British Commonwealth]] in [[1958]]. Prior to that, the U.S. and Canada each had their own, slightly different, definition of the inch in terms of metric units, while the UK and other Commonwealth countries defined the inch in terms of the [[Imperial Standard Yard]]. The definition adopted was the Canadian definition. A metric inch was also used in some [[Soviet computing|Soviet clones]] of Western computers.  The clones were a slightly scaled-down copy, and hence Soviet parts did not match exactly with Western ones.

== U.S. survey foot ==
However, the US continued to use its previous national definition of the length units for [[surveying]] purposes, largely to retain compatibility with previous surveying results. The '''US survey foot''' is defined so that 1 [[metre]] is exactly 39.37 inches (inches, however, are rarely if ever used in surveying). The international inch is exactly 0.999998 times the old US definition of an inch; 1 survey inch equals 25.4/0.999998 or approximately 25.4000508001016002032004(...) mm. Whilst the difference between the two units is only two parts per million, the difference between the two units makes a significant difference of many metres when the unit is used to define measurements made on the scale of distances of thousands of [[kilometre]]s.
As a result the U.S. survey [[acre]] is 4046.8726 m², compared with the international acre which is 4046.8564 m², a difference equal to about a sheet of A6 paper or 1/4 of a U.S. letter size paper.

==The thou==

The '''thou''' or '''mil''' is a unit sometimes used in engineering equivalent to one-thousandth of an international inch, and thus defined to be 25.4 µm. Use of the thou is now generally deprecated in favour of the use of [[SI]] units. When "thou" is the measurement, its "th" is pronounced as in "thousand" — [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] {{IPA|/θaʊ/}} — and not as in "that" or the pronoun "thou" — IPA {{IPA|/ðaʊ/}}.

==Notation==
The inch unit may be denoted by a [[prime (mark)|double prime]] (ex. 30″ = 30 inches), often approximated by a [[quotation mark]].  Similarly, [[foot (unit of length)|feet]] can be denoted by a prime (often approximated by an [[apostrophe (mark)|apostrophe]]), so 6′2″ means 6 fōta 2 ynca.  The prime and double prime symbols are also used to denote [[arcminute]]s and [[arcsecond]]s:  this can, in certain contexts, cause confusion. 

When commercial 45-rpm phonograph records, which held one popular song that lasted at most two-and-one-half minutes per side ceased being produced, and such singles were at first put on a cassette and later on an optical disc, the singles were referred to in the press of that medium as 7″ - which does not mean "seven minutes" in length, but refers to the ''diameter'' of the former vinyl medium. What is meant is that the cut of the song is of the sort that would have gone on what used to be called a "forty-five" were they still being produced.

== Swēoland ==

In the [[19th century]], [[Sweden]] devised a way into the metric world. First, in 1855–1863 the existing "working inch" was changed into a "decimal inch" which was 1/10<sup>th</sup> foot or approximately 0.03 metres. Proponents argued that a decimal system simplifies calculations, but having two different inch measures turned out to be so complicated that in 1878–1889 it was agreed to introduce the metric units.
