There's something wrong with the sub /sub markup on this article, but I can't figure out what it is. Any help? DavidWBrooks 16:03, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Number name

Any way to remove the ambiguous "billion" from the number name. Because this number is not a round number, I suggest the best way to read this number in practice to avoid ambiguity is simply to read the digits: "four two nine four nine six seven two nine seven". Any comments?? 66.245.118.214 22:33, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I don't think the "billion" is sufficiently ambiguous to be a problem, since the digit version is printed out right here: it's not like somebody is going to mistakely put an extra 000 into it because they're thinking of the long-form "billion" ... (for more on this issue, see billion.) Reading out the digits, however, is a solution worse than the problem: Nobody on Earth has ever pronounced a large number that way. - DavidWBrooks 01:46, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
