You're so predictable

  Here I assumed it was going to be a phone number

  That I have to go through and count the digits before I know how to say the number aloud (4 billion…) seems like a flaw with how we write numbers.

    Commas would have helped a bit, that way you could at least just count the commas or the more visible locks they space out, instead of counting each set of 3 digits one digit at a time.

    There are more pragmatic ways to write numbers, though, depending on the need for specificity. If the lower digits are insignificant, simply writing 4.81 billion is easy, or 4.81e9.

  Why would I read the number? I saw the dollars and that it’s a lot, that’s enough context for me

  This one has never worked for me, because if I see a long number without commas or periods I have to stop and figure out. I couldn’t hope to read that number until I solved to puzzle of whether is started with “million” or “billion.”

    Yeah, my first thought was it’s a, um, yeah, 4.8T. Then I realised my autism ruined the joke.

  I read the number before it told me I didn’t read it. I accept btc.

      Inflation. Pixels cost less back then.

      I think it probably has fewer.
