Have you hard of our lord and savior, the metric system?
???
We have but Canada sells so much construction supplies to the US that we don’t use metric for it.
Even metric is under-sized on dressed timber 4x2" ~ 100x50mm => 90x45m dressed
Yeah, but then we just use the 90x45mm as a measurement…
Also if I remember correctly it’s sold as 89x44. 45mm was only used for I-joists
