SpaceScotsman,

Instead of arguing about 0Mg vs 0mg - use the best of both and upset everyone: 0ᴍg

ratzki,

Mg: 0 mg

IUPAC convention needs a space between number and unit. You can only omit the space for % or degrees.

Tischkante,

That’s deadly isn’t it

unlucky,

While we’re intentionally avoiding the joke, a space should be placed between the number and a unit, preferably a non-breaking one.

allroy,

people are focused on other wrong things but… the past participle of run is run

catfooddispenser,

Yeah it’s seriously upsetting.

That’s 0 milligrams. 0 magnesium would be “0 Mg” (pay attention to capitalisation). Or even “0mg Mg”.

Wilzax,

But but but 0 Mg would mean 0 megagrams! Capitalization doesn’t fix the ambiguity!!1!

Cethin,

0mg is unambiguous. 0Mg has the two options. The issue is just that the OP is wrong (well, partially right but not what they wanted).

platypus_plumba,

0 milligrams of magnesium.

MashedTech,

0 milligrams or 0 Magnesium?

az04,
CJOtheReal,

0mg or 0mg?

somePotato,

Yes

can,

Cholesterol?

A long time ago I bought a generic brand chip just because it had 0mg Cholesterol! in bold print on the front. They were awful to eat but the picture was worth a few hundred likes on Twitter (Currently known as Elon Musk’s X) back then.

Omg, 0mg o’ Mg
