As an educated physicist, I concur (*). Also, it's time that the general public finally uses kilo-, mega-, and gigadollars, to avoid the confusion what a "billion" means in different languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales#Current_usage (*) Actually, not even physicists use megameters for some reason, neither does anyone say megagrams... people are so inconsistent.
