    I know you wouldn’t multiply exponents that way unless it’s an exponent of an exponent. In any case, it’s the only way I can make the term “mcg” actually make sense.
    Think of it as giving someone the benefit of the doubt to the point of absurdity.

    Micrograms? You mean millicentigrams, commonly abbreviated as mcg by people who avoid proper SI- symbols?

    Since milli means 1/10^3 and centi means 1/10^2, I propose millicenti means 1/10^(3*2) or 1/10^6.

    Or the extended keycode-averse could just use ug.










  • I feel your pain. It seems these apps have been built by monolinguists, and the language preference/requirement you mentioned are more of an afterthought than, for example, quality/resolution preferences.

    For subtitles, at least, a bilingual family needs to have two separate instances of bazaar.

    Of course, that’s less than ideal when you start talking about two entire video files when all you want is an additional audio stream.

    I’ll be checking back here hoping you’ll find a solution.
