  Food is a dead serious matter in Italy!

  I think it’s mostly down to the fact the units could be mixed when written down.

  Mg and mg should not create confusion in theory the standard milion prefix in metric is a capital M.

  The official definition of a 1,000 kg is Mg but it’s not very frequently used in practice. Mostly because use of metric tonnes was already diffused

  Keep in mind that there is more than just SI units used in Europe in the past. For example if you read through an old thermodynamics textbook in Italian it is likely to use a lot calories and often the CGS system (centimeter grams second and calories).

  It’s typically shortened as t.

  Normally it’s clear from the context and what units you are using so there is no ambiguity.

  Function paidvacation()?

  Why would someone take unpaidvacations ? Is that a cop privilege in the US?
