Damn, I was really holding out for Hella for 10^27

If 10^27^ would be Hella, would 10^-27^ then be Hello? 🙃

The campaign hasn't made any progress since 2011 when Wolfram Alpha added support for it, a year after Google did. Google's calculator still does support it, though, so you can write queries like like "1Zbit/s * 1 year in hellabytes" (3.9 hellabytes), or "mass of the earth in hellagrams" (5.9 hellagrams).

Alas, the prefix H was already in use according to the page you linked. Disappointing.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

I don't think it's used as a prefix but as a unit symbol. Point still stands though, unfortunately.

Maybe there can be an exception when referring to Californium
