Something?

I can't be fucked leaving the reviews but it will always be the last thing I buy there.
If Americans want to do this shit that's up to them, I'm not paying the bar keeper 10% for pulling me a pint. If it's my local, I'll offer to buy them a drink now and again, I'm not doing that in a pub I may only go to once.
Cow farming was just one example of work that can only really be done in rural locations. Presumably you're not against the farming of vegetables?
It's not about the size of the number, it's about presenting information in a way that the average reader can understand. The best way to do that is to present it in the way that they're accustomed to and I don't think I've ever seen scientific notation used to refer to a sum of money.
It's great that you and I understand scientific notation, but it's worthlesss when you're trying to get the average person to understand what you're writing if they don't know it themselves.
To make myself clear, I'm not saying that scientific notation isn't useful, I'm just saying that most people don't understand it.
For extra credit, 74,500,000,000,000,000 aka seventy four quintillion, five hundred quadrillion.
Let's all abandon the countryside and move to the city rather than improving transport links for rural communities then.
IDGAF about how farmer Jones is going to get to his farm at 5am every day to feed the cows.
Not really. Most people aren't familiar with scientific or engineering notation. Writing £1,000,000, one million pounds or £1Million is a lot clearer than writing £1×10^6.
My cars odometer says 91,584, not 91.584×10^3
Maybe it's different in your social circle. I work with engineers and technicians and keeping an old car going is respected not derided.
I wouldn't want to hang around with people that look down their noses at me because I drive a car with 100,000 miles on the clock.
Sure, I'll sell my nice house in the countryside and use the money to buy something not even half the size in an urban centre so I can have the privilege of being able to use a bus. No thanks.
Helmut? Are you a KvS fan?
Some people believe the Sega Dreamcast was a superior console but that it failed to appeal to the mass market because the Playstation and the xBox also had the ability to play DVDs.
At the time DVD players were very popular and a standalone unit could cost in the ballpark of £100, so the ability to get a 2in1 unit that played games and DVDs was very attractive.
I just checked it out, very boring /s
I judge people for being gate keepers of music, I used to be one and no one likes it. People have different tastes and it's horses for courses.
Some American women have accidentally met up at the British meeting point.
