      American are like “cut 37/64 and 52 thousandths of an inch off your 2 by 4 inch piece of wood, that’s obviously not 2 by 4 inches”, and don’t get me started on wire gauge.

          No, I live in the metric world. I just watch some woodworking etc. videos by Americans for entertainment, and get horribly confused and annoyed.
