By the way, about millimeters being too precise... You want to be aware that using millimeters is also an acquired habit. Any language is.
Construction tolerances should be specified separately from units of measurement.
When we are taught drafting in Russian middle school, we are taught to pull all dimensions from a single reference plane rather than string them up. This prevents tolerances from accumulating into errors.
