>>11972754I could say that after we all agree on a million,
we separately agree as to the logical extension
of the bigger numbers. A million is
a "great thousand", linguistically, so why not
reflect the language based on thousands?
That is, use "bithou" for million, "trithou" for
the number 10^9, etc.
And if that's too silly, we can colloquially use
"figures" and we can cut the name wars shit
entirely.
ex 1: The Moon is 5 figures of miles away from
Earth.
ex. 2: His bank account is 9 figures lower than
Bezo's worth, now at 185 billion.
Why not this?
