    One thing turning people off is certainly that they’re imagining they have hundreths of an inch accuracy instead of just writing 7 3/4.

      You got something here. That is how Americans or people used to the imperial system would write this. This is satire, but not from someone that uses the imperial (inch) system regularly. Here in Germany, you don’t use fractions like that like Americans do.
