My preference for this century is ton = metric ton = 1 000 kilograms, as a string of three identically equal statements.
Ton = 1 000 kg is a well established definition of ton in most countries (spelling variations aside), and is more explicitly related to the SI base unit of mass, kilogram, than is megagram. The Mg is unnecessary and is more of a deviation from coherent SI. Gene. ........................................
