There are units that don't strictly follow the 10X, 100X, 1000X sequence like Angstroms and a few like Pascals that no one but a few scientists use but, as I said at first, the system is far more logical than the Imperial system we use here.

Actually we use both systems which is even more confusing. Soda comes in 2 liter bottles these days and booze in 750 ml, 1L and 1.75 L bottles. Metric bolts and other parts are common on "American" cars. We run 10K races. Etc.
