Second is an SI unit.
It depends on the country, in Greece it's usually free, maybe in touristy places or if you order bottled water you will be charged, but otherwise most places will give you cold tap water for free.
Yes and quite predictably Italians have pasta fingers.
Yes it's too sweet to fit a regular type pizza.
Of course people can have whatever they want, but it's not a traditional pizza combination for the same reason why no other fruits are found in a pizza except for tomatoes!
Anything else omelette with pineapple?
I think it's mostly down to the fact the units could be mixed when written down.
Mg and mg should not create confusion in theory the standard milion prefix in metric is a capital M.
The official definition of a 1,000 kg is Mg but it's not very frequently used in practice. Mostly because use of metric tonnes was already diffused
Keep in mind that there is more than just SI units used in Europe in the past. For example if you read through an old thermodynamics textbook in Italian it is likely to use a lot calories and often the CGS system (centimeter grams second and calories).
It's typically shortened as t. So a mass of 1,000,000 kg will be referred as 1,000 t
Normally it's clear from the context and what units you are using so there is no ambiguity.
