It looks perfectly fine with thin spaces. There is no loss of clarity. Not sure why you have a bee in your bonnet about this.[/QUOTE]

LOL - I don't know either. I think I'm happy with the thin spaces there... at least on the pages most likely to be viewed by outsiders (i.e. journalists or new folks when new primes are found, and no, there isn't one waiting to be announced, it's just proactive).

Where I work, I deal with websites in a variety of languages and locales, and it's amazing how many quirky things there are with measurements, even between the English speaking countries.

As the old joke goes, England and America are two countries divided by a common language. :smile: I'm just imagining how the discussion will evolve when we start talking about billion digit numbers, because English speakers in some parts of the world will be agog that we're talking about 10^12 so soon, when really I would mean 10^9.

If all you deal with is English then you probably won't encounter any problems.

Whenever I run the text through Google Translate, from English to various other languages, it leaves the numbers unaltered, except it turns the thin spaces into regular spaces.

The discussion about units has been moved to another thread:

Regarding the 41 million milestone
 

I see that there are 14 exponents that need to be cleared for that milestone (41 million) to be completed.
However, almost half of those exponents are not moving and they are past due and are not moving at all. I believe they are six of those there.

41 million milestone. There are only 10 exponents left.

However, 6 of them seem to be stuck.

This one, for example, has been totally abandoned. (apparently)

Probably not that one since, as you show, the assignment updated today. As for the others...could be... it's hard to tell sometimes if they're abandoned because some people (like George himself) may kick a bunch of work off and then go on a vacation. :smile:

4 of the 6 that haven't checked in lately are expiring soon anyway and I'm guessing someone will probably pick off the others if the assignee still hasn't updated their progress.

I'm very sorry! I meant this one!

C'mon ATH, pick up the pace. :smile: (I know, only assigned yesterday or whatever...)

Done.
