Yup, I've reached 20,000 posts. It's a shame the myria- prefix never caught on. Of course it was done in by the lack of a corresponding prefix for 1/10,000 and that Occidental languages generally build larger numbers from powers of 1000 as opposed to powers of 10,000 as Oriental languages generally do. Of course it wouldn't be as much of a problem if we used long scale instead of short scale. If nothing else, it would mean our national debt would be measured in billions of dollars instead of trillions. A decillion at 1033 isn't large enough to encompass the full scale of nature, but a decillion at 1060 is.
