Serious question about this argument. Try translating tenths of inches… to what? I assume you’re not talking about converting to metric because then any unit is problematic, and if you’re using tenths of an inch then you’re using inches, not something else, so… what’s the problem?
The most common place to find .1" is on micrometers. And that’s just fine until you need to switch it back to imperial or metric for the next processing…which the rest of your tooling is in.

.1" is roughly 2.54mm
.1", fractionally is ~7/64
7/64 is roughly 2.77mm
See how this is recipe for disaster?
