I type as dictated - BOS says...
[ In Reply To ..]BOS says 4.2 thousand is 4200. It's too confusing. I type as dictated, period. I'm not seeing where 2.39 thousand comes out to 239,000, if 4.2 thousand comes out to 4200.
I have always typed as dictated, because I'm not a math genius, so help me understand how 2.39 thousand comes out to 239,000.
I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just confused.
2.39 thousand is 2390. - SM
[ In Reply To ..]2.39 thousand = 2.39 x 1000 = 2390.
239 thousand is 239 x 1000 or 239,000.
It is easy to figure out, even if you do not have a calculator. Just move the decimal 3 spaces to the right.
239,000 is Way Incorrect - nm

that would be so far off the charts as to be scary - normal: ~ 4500-10,000
[ In Reply To ..]holy guacamole
I also type as dictated - nm
