I have zero issues with using negative exponents, what I do take issue with is writing "g-1" in an online publication. You either use proper HTML to write an exponent as an exponent, or you use division.
"g-1" is not a a unit, it spells out "gram - 1", which makes no sense at all and there's zero excuse for not even using the commonly accepted crutch "g^-1".
