It's not an abuse, just as 2000 kilometres (that's 2 megametres!) or 200 grams (that's 2 hectagrams!) or even 20 milligrams (that's 2 centigrams!) are not. One of the points of prefixed units was that a field could find "base" resolution for their measurements such that most of those could be integer multiplies of some chosen unit.
