Talk:Number names

Long vs. short scale

Please choose between long and short scale, and amend the task description. --Michael Mol 04:02, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Why not both? Split it into "Number names/Short scale" and "Number names/Long scale" with this page holding the description of the task, and definition of short scale vs. long scale, with links to the subpages. -- Eriksiers 13:51, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Either? (So no present code is invalidated) --Paddy3118 16:57, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Either is fine, but give a brief explanation of long form vs short form in the task description, then require the choice to be documented in the example. --Michael Mol 19:58, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I'd recommend sticking to the short scale, since it's standard among English-speaking countries and Rosetta Code is in English. —Underscore (Talk) 21:12, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Do you think the U.K. (who, most whould say, are English-speaking) may disagree with the last recommendation? Gerard Schildberger 23:22, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
