Created by A3A0, 7 hits on Google. A hypothetically possible term. Between the multiple SI prefixes ("zepto" and "kilo") and the existence of a more standard term for the same measure (attogram), I'm not sure why anyone would use this. That said, terms like hectokilogram do exist, so who knows. 70.172.194.25 02:10, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- The difference I see is that hectokilogram cannot be replaced with a shorter word, since there is no established SI prefix for 100,000. There is no tradition of using SI prefixes that undo each other ... the word, as you say, is attogram. Sometimes a particular multiple is so often used in a specific science that they create a new word for it .... meteorologists creating bar and millibar for example ... but this is the opposite of that process ... making a word more difficult instead of more convenient .... the only possible way I could see this being used is through its supposed abbreviations, z and zkg. But Im not convinced .... the 7 google hits dont look real, anyway, .... not only are they duplicates of each other, but it looks like they are user-editable websites like us. —Soap— 11:02, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
