Your Definition
A unit of measure that is 1/1000th of an inch. The term can also be used interchangeably with "thou" witch is simply much shorter than saying "thousandths of an inch". The advent of the [metric system] has generated some confusion as some have used the term "mil" as an [abbreviation] for the millimeter (mm). [The only thing] that they share is that each is 1000th of something. The traditional "mil" is 1 thousandth of an inch and the millimeter is 1 thousandth of a meter. Although the unit seems impossibly small it is very common in industries where an inch is absurdly large such as film (for plastic bags), foil, and wires. 1 mil = 1 thou = 0.001" = 0.0254mm
