  Are you using “mig” as milligram or microgram? For that to be a term you’d use, I assume you recognize you’re responding to a quantity in micrograms.

    Micrograms? You mean Millicentigrams, abbreviated as mcg?

      I assume your comment is very tongue-in-cheek, im which case it was a fun read. What follows is my response if it isn’t.

      ---

      Well, the top-level comment said μg, which was the basis of my questioning the second-level comment. Not sure where your millicentigrams came from.

      Also, your math is weird. You wouldn’t multiply your exponents like that, you’d add them. As noted at the top, though, I suspect your whole comment is in jest and the math is meant to be the giveaway aimed at the literal-minded like me.

        I know you wouldn’t multiply exponents that way unless it’s an exponent of an exponent. In any case, it’s the only way I can make the term “mcg” actually make sense.
        Think of it as giving someone the benefit of the doubt to the point of absurdity.

  What are you talking about 300 Russian fighter jets per 1024 gram? I’m lost!
