The thou

The thou or mil is a unit sometimes used in engineering equivalent to one-thousandth of an international inch, and thus defined to be 25.4 µm. Use of the thou is now generally deprecated in favour of the use of SI units. When "thou" is the measurement, its "th" is pronounced as in "thousand" — IPA {{IPA|/θaʊ/}} — and not as in "that" or the pronoun "thou" — IPA {{IPA|/ðaʊ/}}.
