But Virgin still doesn't get it
<Althego>
didnt even light the engine
<Mat2ch>
you don't sell by cool short videos anymore
<Mat2ch>
if you want to use social media really, you have to deliver more than breadcrumbs
<Althego>
btw why is it social distancing. it is physical distancing, you can be as close as you want socially, just over the internet :)
<Mat2ch>
I've asked this myself, too
<Mat2ch>
and I bet it has something to do with us Germans.
<Mat2ch>
You know, those older people don't speak english very well, so they come up with weird english names for everything
<Mat2ch>
there was even a time around 2000 where everything suddenly had to be in english. They even changed company names for companies that only operate locally
<Althego>
i dont even know the origin, it may be american. after all they came up wioth the wrong usage of billion too :)
<Mat2ch>
there's something called "public viewing" here, when you get together to watch some live stream e.g. for football (the one with the ball and the foot, which plays it :P)
<Mat2ch>
Nope. Million, Billion and Trillion is actually correct
<Althego>
in most of europe
<Mat2ch>

<sandbox>
I've been social distancing for years
<Mat2ch>
*15th century
<Mat2ch>
Althego: Germany had the big outbreaks before the US, so it's entirely possible that someone here came up with the name, because they can't grasp the different meaning of "social" in the languages
<Althego>
there is a wiki article, but the whole thing is from this march
<Althego>
doesnt state the origin

This is why scientific notation is the objectively correct approach to large numbers
