	Names of large numbers
		References to names of quantities larger than a quadrillion, however, are rare, and increasingly artificial; they tend to be limited to discussions of names of numbers, or mathematical concepts.
		When a number represents a measurement rather than a count, SI prefixes are used; one says "femtosecond," not "one quadrillionth of a second." In some cases, specialized very large or large units are used, such as the astronomer's parsec and light year.
		The name "googol" was invented by a child (Dr. Kasner's nine-year-old nephew) who was asked to think up a name for a very big number, namely 1 with a hundred zeroes after it.

	Names of numbers in English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If a number is in the range 21 to 99, and the second digit is not zero, one should write the number as two words separated by a hyphen.
		Often, large numbers are written with (preferably non-breaking) half-spaces or thin spaces separating the thousands (and, sometimes, with normal spaces or apostrophes) instead of commas—to ensure that confusion is not caused in countries where a decimal comma is used.
		In English the decimal point was originally printed in the center of the line (0·002), but with the advent of the typewriter it was placed at the bottom of the line, so that a single key could be used as a full stop/period and as a decimal point.
