History/Origin
The barleycorn was a unit of measurement in medieval England, and was originally based on the length of a grain of barley. It was a fundamental unit from which other units were derived.
Current Use
The barleycorn is an obsolete unit of measurement, but it is still the basis for shoe sizes in English-speaking countries.
Micron
A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.
Current Use
While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
