Here we go again... charging against the megagram thing. However,
the fact of the matter remains and is u-n-d-e-n-i-a-b-l-e, if g and mg
ARE acceptable practice, Mg should, too, period!!! Let's notice that
both g and mg are NOT decimal multiples of the kg for the simple reason
that the *k* is not in EITHER of these "prefixed units"!
All this because BIPM and CGPM failed to address the all important fundamental,
critical issue: that a base unit should NEVER contain a prefix!!!
Come up with a new name for the kg itself and voil`, no more problem, end
of discussion! ;-)
