`   Hi Euric - welcome to Wikipedia. About your recent edits to Floppy disk: Metric specifications are no 1 worldwide now, agreed. But that's not the point here. It's a fact that these floppies have been called 5¼- and 3½-inch and that has to be seen in a historical perspective. The fact that the 3½-disk is actually 90 mm in size has also been clearly stated in the article. (It might have been called a ``90 disk`` or something similar, if it was invented 10 years from now ) And even when using the metric system, you'll sometimes run into ``misnomers``; if you bought a 2½-litre car it is highly likely that it sports an engine with only 2,4895 litres of displacement.  07:36, 2004 May 21 (UTC) `
