Revisions to What is a 'Satoshi'?

1/0.00000001 = 100,000,000, so 1 BTC is a HUNDRED thousand satoshis (and other units change as a consequence). Some edit broke this. Reorder units while at it

A Satoshi Satoshi is the smallest fraction of a Bitcoin that can currently be sent: 0.00000001 BTC, that is, a hundredth of a millionth BTC. In the future, however, the protocol may be updated to allow further subdivisions, should they be needed.

Further examples of units

1 BTC = 10,0001,000 SatoshismBTC (millibitcoin)
1 BTC = 1,000 mBTC,000 μBTC (millibitcoinmicrobitcoin)

1 BTC = 100,000,000 Satoshis
1 mBTC = 10100,000 Satoshis
1 μBTC (microbitcoin) = 10100 Satoshis

The right side of the example equations all had a 0 too many. Also changed the text at the top, if mainly to make my edit be more than 6 characters.
