"Millionths", abbreviated "mths of a second" here for... reasons...
Known to the entire world, including American STEM people, as a microsecond.
Anything to avoid using the proper units, you wouldn't want the Americans audience to be enlightened wouldn't you.
What irks me is that they could have abbreviated "7mths of a second" to just "7us" while ADDING clarity!
7ms is 7 milliseconds. Unfortunately 7μs is difficult to type and there isn't a good universal way to abbreviate it in ascii.
Eh, 7us is fine.
