Comment on Why a ton, and not a megagram?

I think it’s written ‘tonne’. And you should call it metric tonne if it’s not clear from the context.

Wikipedia says:

The tonne is a unit of mass equal to 1000 kilograms. It is a non-SI unit accepted for use with SI. It is also referred to as a metric ton to distinguish it from the non-metric units of the short ton (United States customary units) and the long ton (British imperial units). The official SI unit is the megagram (symbol: Mg), a less common way to express the same amount.
