Does anyone know how I write out in number form half a trillion US dollars?

Is it $US 500,000,000,000?

 

I think it goes -

US$500,000,000,000

 

Correct.

 

Aye, cos you're always dealing in them sort of figures

 

Thanks for that Gordon Gekko.

ffs

 

He's a businessman

Even buying posh pens as gifts for 'staff' many of whom he wants to fiddle with

 

Go

Shove a posh pen up your arse.

 

RE: Go

He'll need to invest in one of them NASA space pens if he does, I seem to recall the advert being along these lines

"amazing pen developed by NASA - they write upside down, in space and covered in *****"

 

I think its wrong innit?

$500,000,000 is Five hundred million</p>

$500,000,000,000 is Five hundred Billion</p>

$500,000,000,000,000 is five hundred trillion</p>

or something </p>

 

To be fair

We're far more likely to use a pen that's covered in ***** than we are to use a pen when we're in space. So a good selling tactic I reckon.

 

five hundred billion is half a trillion. Which is what he wanted to know.

 

RE: To be fair

Maybe for you Jay. I would put money on the fact that there's far more chance of me going to space then sticking a pen up my arse.

 

why ... did the Giro not come yet then

 

Rubbish

You've never stuck a pen up your arse ?

I've treated a particularly itchy anus to a good keying at times

 

RE: Rubbish

Obviously I've tripped over before and inserted a hoover attachment in my arse by mistake. But never a pen.

 

Ah but

You don't have to stick one up there. Maybe you might accidently sit on one. Or a doctor might drop one in there when he's doing some sort of procedure. Far more likely than you going in to space. You've only got to talk to someone who works in A&E to know how often people accidently drop things in their own arse.

 

RE: Rubbish

Nude hoovering carries many pitfalls.</p>

 

RE: He's a businessman

A pen that costs half a trillion dollars if you please. it's for the enhanced knockered bird next door.

 

RE: He's a businessman

aye, birds love pens and that.

 

RE: Ah but

Absolutely. And there's no need for any awkward questions when that arises. next door's gerbil was fine after a good wash.
