Someone pointed out on a podcast recently that in the metric system, there are units — metres, grams, litres, etc. — and that all multi-unit prefixes are Greek (deca, kilo, mega) while all sub-unit prefixes (deci, centi, milli) are Latin. (Yes, since 1935 there have been exceptions… still.)

I’ve been using the metric system since I was 6 and never noticed this.
