Random wondering of the day: Does anyone use "centigram"? I always see either gram or milligram.

Actually centi and hecto seem to get skipped a lot in general. I've only ever seen the later in "hectares" which...doesn't actually use it, just looks like it does

@Doephin I pretty much never saw it being used in Europe. Like you mentioned anything in scales of 1000 gets used (milligram - > gram - > kilogram). Probably because values in 100 ranges are still pretty easy to mentally deal with but if you're at 1000 of something it's easier to change your unit
