Could you just stop calling the ton (tonne) megagram... Ridiculous!
Why is it ridiculous to call something what it is?
1 metric ton = 1 tonne = 1 megagram = 1 T = 1 Mg
They are all the same thing.
IEEE/ASTM SI10-1997 restricts "metric ton" and "tonne" to commercial usage only, implying that "megagram" is the better term in most applications.
