RE: how to pronounce numbers
I've been tempted to mention the interesting French approach to the seventies, eighties and nineties. I've resisted until now. English, of course, has the crazy teens: eleven, twelve, thirteen, ... nineteen plus several other schemes: four score and seven years ago.
Then there is the disagreement about the higher powers of ten: is a billion 109 or 1012? We should next move onto digit grouping (comma, dot, space and probably several other symbols). From Wikipedia: 67,89,000,00,00,000 is interesting. Pauli |
