Dear Tam:
During WW2 the value was changed. UK, Canada, and USA each had a
slightly different value. Became a problem with things having threads.
I think that the Canadian value won. Now: one inch is 25.4 mm
exactly.

10 meters = 32.8 feet
11 meters = 36.1 feet

A meter is approximately 3 feet and 3 inches NOT just 3 feet.
Those
inches
add up after a while.

Yes, this is how I bombed in basic Trigonometry and decided to not
become an an Electrical Engineer :-)

I tend to remember that a meter is 39.37 inches. Makes for an extra
step,
but fewer numbers to remember.
