    M in million should always be capitalised for this reason.

        Megagermans just sound evil.

        And milligermans, well there’s a vaccine against that I think.

      Until I read this comment I was 100% certain the post was about short Germans somehow preferring having their balconies occluded by taller-than-them solar panels.
