I once asked an Indian (subcontinent type) colleague to hand me "that ruler", referring to a graduated straight edge.
He looked at me like I was from Mars ...
In India, a "ruler" is a king (for example) ... the drafting implement is called a "scale". Of course, here a "scale" is used for measuring weight.
