Thanks for the helpful chart Rich. Of course, some Metric 'substitutes' will be a closer fit on an Imperial nut than others!
Down here we have had 'metrification' foisted upon us many years ago, so most of us have two sets of tools, usually including the 'UN' set of spanners Dad used way back when (- most still in working order and ready for use on the Packard). But occasionally I still reach for a spanner, judge it using the 'quick glance' method, and try it on a nut or bolt. Sometimes it is a good close fit, but if not I don't use it.
