Why I Always Verify Metric Conversions in Documents

When reviewing or editing documents, unit consistency is one of the easiest things to overlook. A value written in millimeters might be correct, but if the rest of the document uses centimeters, confusion can happen.

The math is straightforward, but I still make it a habit to verify conversions, especially when decimals are involved.

For quick confirmation, I sometimes check values using a lightweight converter like

before finalizing the text.

This small step helps reduce errors that are easy to miss during reviews.
