    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    That's because it is what you were taught.

    I never said it bothers us. Our system is just easier to use and IMO simpler than the standard system. Why complicate things on purpose?

    I convert fractions for the most part as i have no use for them in my job.

    The metric system makes more sense , however , I'm a carpenter and we still use feet and inches .

    Also a 2x4 is 1 1/2 " x 3 1/2 "

    Sometimes 1 9/16 " x 3 5/8 " depending on moisture content.

    Can always count on OZ to make my day! :) Reminded me of this:

    'bout 20 some years ago we were back home at my in-laws in Iowa. Was helping my father in law rearrange stuff in some of his numerous storage sheds. He had some salvaged lumber from one of the old warehouses in town that was torn down. I queried about a stack of square cornered "over-sized" 2x4s...turns out a 2x4 originally measured 2" x 4". I never knew before that day, but always wondered why a 2x4 didn't measure 2" by 4". Think it even screwed up my plans on my first simple home improvement project. Things that make you go "hmmmm".....

    A 2x4 measures 2x4 before it is finished.

    Harden your bark, there are storms on the horizon.
    is "2x4" used in Canada as slang for a case of beer?

    (saw this in urban dictionary)

    I get that, still seems like 1/4" all the way around is a lot of finishing.

    ...and why don't they rough cut them 2 1/2" by 4 1/2" and finish them to 2" x 4"

    ... like I said "hmmmm"

    Yes, we say "2 4" when talking about a 24 case of beer. 6pack, 12pack and a King pack (28 case of beer).

    How did it get this name?
    Reminds me of the old cartoons where they would shave an entire log down to get one tooth pick.

    Actually , rough sawn material measures about 1 7/8" x 3 7/8" if circular sawn , and 1 15/16" x 3 15/16" if band sawn , depending on wood species .

    Yes, but how does "2x4" or "2 4" relate to a case of beer?
