Wouldn't that be a 700/1 scale model of a nanite? Would that be a macrite?

A 1/700-scale model would not be a 700/1-scale model, no.

Well, I would also think that the opposite of a nanite ought to be a gigite...

Well, your just fuck'n marvellous - aren't you? I couldn't think of the prefix - and thought macro to convey size was still appropriate.

Well, no, since macro is the opposite of micro, and they're called nanites, not micrites. ARGUMENT DESTROYED!

LOL! nanites are microscopic - a large scale tangible version would be macroscopic... I explained I used this prefix to convey SIZE as I couldn't remember the prefix to use... I could have called them gigites yes - but I DIDN'T. Argument resurrected! --------------------"Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica." - Jim Halpert. (The Office) I'm LIZZING! - Liz Lemon (30 Rock)
