Much like the other sub-comments here, I don't know where you got that idea. Ethanol (alcohol) and isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) are miscible with water in all proportions.
For what it's worth, the Latin-second-declension-singular-sounding word, virus, is in fact (probably) second declension neuter, and what's more has no [authentic Latin] plural... the correct word is viruses!
I have difficulty understanding how the idea of interrupting programs at all was ever thought to be acceptable. In Australia, the public broadcaster has no ads, and the next best thing is limited by its charter to five minutes' ads per hour, strictly between programs. These channels are my staples, and I find the commercial networks totally infuriating as they are. (Channel Nine is doing more and more scrolly-ads on top of prime time shows now, too...)
The length of a typical bond between two atoms is about one Ångstrom -- 10e-10 metre, or a tenth of a nanometer -- so the first few prefixes probably won't come up much in conversation [yet?].
(for completeness, there are binary versions of these prefixes too:-)
And on the subject of nano-things... let's not let the CAD-crazed physicists with their molecular beams and Atomic Force Microscopes push the fascination of supramolecular chemistry off the stage. Have a look at the Stoddart and Rebek groups' pages. Also see KevinMS' comment!
No it wouldn't. Reduced material (read: wood, petrol, hydrogen,...) is what is ignited (read: oxidised, releasing energy). Strictly speaking, oxygen gas by itself is non-flammable.

There are a lot of good reasons not to.
For what it's worth, the Latin-second-declension-singular-sounding word, virus , is in fact (probably) second declension neuter, and what's more has no [authentic Latin] plural... the correct word is viruses!
Amazing how those memes spread...

The SI prefixes (from NIST) are:
yocto (10e-24)
zepto (10e-21)
atto (10e-18)
femto (10e-15)
pico (10e-12)
nano (10e-09)
micro (10e-06)
milli (10e-03)
[unity] (10e+00)
kilo (10e+03)
mega (10e+06)
giga (10e+09)
tera (10e+12)
peta (10e+15)
exa (10e+18)
zetta (10e+21)
yotta (10e+24)

if 100% was O2, then air would be ignitable
No it wouldn't. Reduced material (read: wood, petrol, hydrogen, ...) is what is ignited (read: oxidised, releasing energy). Strictly speaking, oxygen gas by itself is non-flammable.
