I apologize but no.
g=G*M/r^2
Magnetic Force depends on the composition of the object.
See Magnet:
A magnet is an object that has a magnetic field. It can be in the form of a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. Permanent magnets do not rely upon outside influences to generate their field. They occur naturally in some rocks, but can also be manufactured. Electromagnets rely upon electric current to generate a magnetic field - when the current increases, so does the field.

It's not my field either, but I know that gravity and magnetic force are two different things. So I'd have to vote in negative for abolishing the word gravity. I'm also against anything that further diminishes our already rapidly decreasing vocabulary & the size of our dictionaries.

I know what you mean by using the word GRAVITY in the MAGNET. But in a magnet field two things happens: One pulls, and the other pushes. And in gravity the same thing happens.

Certainly not. Gravity and magnetism are very different kinds of forces. As my colleague pointed out, a good place to get caught up on these things is the sixth grade.

No, we can't. Scientists are working on a unified field theory that will use the same math to describe gravity and electromagnetic force, but I don't think they are trying to say that gravity should be disregarded and replaced by magnetic force. Not at all.

Why? These two forces act on very different principles. Magnetic forces act on moving charged objects where gravitational forces affect anything with mass (and even some things without mass like light).

They are both fields.
However, they are not the same things, so no.
A gravitational field is caused by energy simply existing within space time. More energy strengthens the gravitational field.
A magnetic field is produced by moving electric charge through space time. You are composed of magnetic fields...actually.
As you can see, they are not the same thing!

Gravity is not the same as magnetic force. You can't just decide to call it something it isn't.

Gravity is the attraction between 2 bodies nothing about it is magnetic.
Magnetics attracts ferrous materials not Glass or wood or aluminum.
Not the same force at all.

Just a thought, but, http://360.yahoo.com/noddarc there is a short writing "Magnetism and Gravity". It is rather long to post here, but if you have an interest ...
