    Dude, people can laugh at a term while still being able to do “critical analysis” 🙄 “foot pound” sounds funny too. People can giggle about Uranus and still be astronomers.

      You can use whatever moon-units you want. I prefer to use people-centric units.

        Ok, if you want an approximate American unit equivalent to a megalitre think of it as cube that can fit a blue whale
