Talk:Ban number

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] British/American English?

Two difficulties: First, e.g. 101 is "one hundred one" in US English but "one hundred and one" in UK English. So it seems to be an aban number in the US but not in the UK. Second. 2 x 10^21 is "two sextillion" in short scale but "two thousand trillion" in long scale, so eban doesn't seem to be well-defined either. Presumably similar difficulties arise with the other ban number concepts. Should the article mention these.
