minus-square@someguy3linkEnglish53•edit-23 days agoA metric ton would be more accurately called a megagram (Mg). What Jesse is proposing here is a new prefix of skelegram to be 10,000 grams. That would also mean a skelemeter to be 10,000 m.
minus-square@BluesFlinkEnglish13•2 days agoI think he’s proposing a skele-ton which is 0.01 tons, (i.e. 10kg), not a skelegram which is 10,000g. A skele-gram in this case would be 0.01g.
minus-square@someguy3linkEnglish1•edit-22 days agoWell a metric tonne is based on a prefix, so a prefix to that is a double prefix. Skelemegagram to suit that situation which is the wrong way to do it.

Sure, but the joke is skele-ton
I really want skelemeter to be a word.
It rolls off the tongue.
Skelemeter…
