I worked in a cabinet shop for a while that used feet and inches. Traditionally cabinet shops run purely in inches, anything else confuses our poor simple minds, but the dude doing producing all of the shop drawings was an architect and wanted us in his system. It caused some problems for me when glancing at a print and seeing 2' 3-11/16" as 23-11/16". Which are not the same at all....
