MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 days agoI’ll allow billion, but personally my preference is using powers of 10 or unit prefixes.
Just I’m not gonna be mad about the newspaper writing 3.5 billion dollars.

Unless that number means something different from US$ 3.5e9.
If you are one of those people that think your country uses the other “billion”, just don’t.

Touche, yeah, I’d totally be on board if everyone just uses $3.5*10⁹ or $3.5e9. Good luck getting it catch on outside eng/science circles though haha
