just think of eX as the zeroes behind the number, 1e4 = 10000
but still for convenience
would you rather read 1500000000 cost or 1.5e9
1.5b
Tihs has been mentioned a couple of times before (support for other notations). There aren't any plans for it right now, but might happen later on
Falls apart a bit once you get to e20+ as there aren't names for each order of magnitude anymore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_prefix
There's nothing from e31 to e40, for example, so to show e39 it'd be 100000000[untriginti]Utt (?)
Could also filter it so anything below e12 or whatever has a translation but it gets forced past that.
There are numbers that could be used; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers; the biggest problem would be fitting in those names, which scale/region to go with, and how to abbreviate them.
Examples for 10e45:
Quattuordecillion
Thousand septillion
Septilliard
And they only get longer the higher we get
