sometimes things become standard I guess
like driving 1000 kilometers for a trip or weighing 100 kilograms
using 1000 kWh in your house
Much as I'd like Mm and Mg to be more widely used, they're very rarely seen. TW and MWh are perfectly normal units, though.
I do find it sad that people talk about 1000 kilotons, though. It's a Tg. A ton is a megagram, a kiloton is a gigagram, and a thousand of those is a teragram. It's a pity that we don't live in a world where that's normal.
