On the other hand HD has "empowered" the DIY movement...when you sleep with the dogs you wake up with the fleas....
Nominal lumber has been those dimensions since well before I began in the trades 35+ yrs ago. There were a few different in-between sizes (1.75 x 3.75" for 2x4) in the 40's or so, and rough sawn was and is still full dimension... There are other changes in the last decade or so with plywood sizing and some "1x" is now 11/16" thick. Sanded 3/4" plywood is routinely 13/16" thick.
