Topic: International Inch vs. US Inch

I don't know about others, but I'm pretty healthcare providers in the US use measurement scales which are based on the US inch, which is just a little bit different from the international inch, which would imply [in_us] rather than [in_i].

After some research, I find that prior guidance to use [in_us] in other guides is incorrect, as that reflects units of measure used in the US prior to 1959 when everything was defined based on the metric system. So [in_i] is correct.
