The nomenclature invites unnecessary confusion, as the terms are all already used ("How many simple seconds are in an actual second?").

Why not use metric prefixes on a day to come up with the names? This requires no new definitions, just a new application of existing terminology.

simple hour = deciday

simple minute = milliday

simple second = 10 microdays
