how much more exact do you need than 12” ????

Come-on Chris, the 12 is exact and the inches is exact (25.4mm as a SI reference
:).
It is the term roughly that I wanted clarified. From a google define
http://www.google.ca/search?q=define%3Aroughly roughly means:
(of quantities) imprecise but fairly close to correct; “lasted approximately an
hour”; “in just about a minute”; “he’s about 30 years old”; “I’ve had about all
I can stand”; “we meet about once a month”; “some forty people came”; “weighs
around a hundred pounds”; “roughly $3,000”; “holds 3 gallons, more or less”; “20
or so people were at the party”
So it is the imprecise or “more or less” part of roughly 12” I wanted
clarified.
