 ANSI- American National Standards Institute (Eng.)

ISO-International Standards Organization (metric)

There is a lot more to it than just the Eng. system vs the Metric system.  Not even domestic producers use ANSI any more because so many parts are produced or shipped globally.  They have come together in more recent years and made some compromises in labeling but ISO is the only thing they should teach in schools.  That is why a person making hand made limited editions has a lot easier job.  They do not have to deal with large corporate structure and so much international law.  The product gets lost in the Bull Shit.
