Actually it's giga, deci and micro (μ), no capitals for the names but capitalised symbols for mega (M) and up!

You know, this girl keeps on being kind of trendy. If not, ask YouTube! 
Anyway...
Thanks for the info! I wish there were any way to learn it by heart by means of mnemonics.
Thank you!!

The table lists the prefixes used to denote decimal fractions and multiples of SI units and derived SI units. The factos are 103n except around unity where additional prefixes are permitted to denote 10-2 10-1 100 101 102. Compound prefixes are not permitted (e.g. millimicro). The prefix attaches directly to the name of a unit, and a prefix symbol attaches directly to the symbol for a unit.
