Also nobody says 1 kilokilogramme (1000 kg). This isaid, the mass base unit in SI is really the kg, even if g would be natural (and indeed people will say 1 g instead of 1 millikilogram). I was always annoyed by kg being the base unit (and I had to drag this suffering throughout my PhD in physics) but this thread opened my eyes on the possibility to use "compensating" prefixes on the kg (millikilogram to say gram) - it is a shame I did not think about that before to drive everyone crazy :)
