Alas, yes, the RCH is no longer politically correct. It's slightly more acceptable cousin is now the RPH.
I have a friend that does monomolecular / monoatomic layers. His definition of a thin film is a gnats ass spread over the Rockies...
On the subject of small things. Let's replace that ugly unit of time, the nanosecond, with a swooptier measure of time... the femtofortnight. I once worked for a company that had utterly insane paperwork requirements for each project. Clearly nobody ever read any of it. I would do a design in a week and the spend the next year twiddling my toes waiting for the rest of the company to catch up with the paperwork. I wrote a spec for a board where all the timing was specified in ffn. It was years later before anybody ever noticed and asked what the heck an ffn was.
