I don't understand this GRAM = 1000g stuff. What is Brij on about? Metric is meant to be easy, not meddled with to make it harder. Maybe he is trying to win over the imperialists who love their units to be extremely hard to convert and as confusing as can be...

Now Brij wants to change the names of the units and use the same word for two different units: gram = traditional SI gram GRAM = 1000 g What then would a million grams be, Brij? Would it still be a megagram, or would it now become a kiloGRAM? I would hope Brij would spend more time and effort trying to help people adopt SI metric as it is and less time trying to make unhelpful changes in it.
