Oh good grief, did I really write that?  I'm sorry, I meant to say:

"""[...] since there's one-thousandth of a meter in a millimeter, we can
go the other way and say that there are one thousand millimeters in one

I can debug code with some fluency, but I have to do better to debug my
English.  *grin*
