That's right...who the fuck cares. It'll always be called a two-by-four. Just like a four-by-eight sheet of plywood.

do you know the Imperial measurement of a standard 2" X 4"? because it isn't 2" X 4". The term 2" X 4" is a nominal term.
a standard 2" X 4" is actually 1.5" X 3.5". In Canada, and I assume in other countries where the metric system is used, the labels report both Metric and Imperial, the Imperial measurement on the labels is incorrect and states 2" X 4" (The nominal size). The Metric measurement on the label states 38 MM X 79 MM which is correct and is the exact size.
