        What does <current year> have to do with it? I had no idea what scale you meant because I’d forgotten the extremely rarely used prefix deca. Plus even decaliters isn’t really a lot when talking about hoarding water. Maybe literal cubic meters.

            With the exception of deci and centi, I know literally nobody who uses prefixes that aren’t multiples of 1000. I’ve been using the metric system all my life. Have you?

              Yeah. I have, I wasn’t thinking much, early morning today. I’m used to seeing more of them in my career, but I guess it’s not really “common” outside of that. Sorry, didn’t want to come off as confrontational.
