D-EJ915: No, it was the right word. I don't know what precision ripster's super-rule has but my ruler is only marked in tenths of an inch which are significantly bigger than the milimetres on the other side. (come to think of it, they must be 2.54 times bigger)
Precision has nothing to do with accuracy, just closeness, it could be totally incorrect but precise. You can say that the millimeter is a better form of measurement and provides higher accuracy for the measurement but that has nothing to do with precision. Even this is a bit wrong lol.
Accuracy = how many places you get. So having 1/64" marks is more accurate than having 1/32" marks by 1/64" like a millimeter adds accuracy to the meter, say 1.0 meter vs 1.00 meter 1.00 is the most accurate
I'm also going to say I could be totally incorrect, lol, but that is not likely.
