What? I put an "inches" symbol in there, so...

Honda-metric is verbal, not numerical. Such as:
"Clank" for "crank";
"Reak cover" for "leak cover".
(actual quotes from factory shop manual)

Nissan was worse. I once saw a set of floor mats with the label
"**** FLOOR MAT". They meant "Front Floor Mat" of course...
