Sigh - this kind of trivialising of a serious issue always irritates me.
There's no need for all of these old-wives' tales.
Continental Europe all run with metric electrons while we still have
Imperial electons. Conversion from one to the other is of course not
exact and so you end up with a fractional charge over/underflow. As
anyone who attempted to reproduce Millikan's famous experiment in school
can testify, fractional electronic charges cause nothing but trouble.
