Ha ha, I know what you mean Russ. To make matter worse, even here in Europe, there's now a tendency to use bolt sizes that are even numbers. Where in the past it was let say a size 13mm, they now happily make the same bolt with a size 14 head, etc. Suddenly 13, 15, 17 etc are out of fashion....
It's almost like that with a lot of other fasteners, every time someone thinks of a new fastener head (let say torx for arguments sake), some one comes up with a torx with a pin in the middle, or goes triangular .... enough to drive me 'nuts!' or should that be 'bolts'......
