I hate it when people use multiple metric prefixes, a trillion terrawatts is a quettawatt.
Also hate it when news reports use “a million gigabytes”, like please just use a petabyte, it is way more impressive anyway.

It’s “terawatts” with one r. Also that’s a somewhat common unit so I can imagine it much better than when it’s converted to something I’ve never heard of. “Trillion” isn’t even a metric prefix btw, it’s just a number.

And “a thousand kilometers” is a megameter; but if you say that, people will think you’re bonkers.
i will use that from now on
