Spelling notes for 1,000,000
Why scale names stay singular
Scale names stay singular inside exact number names. English writes one million without adding a plural s to the scale name.
Why zero groups are skipped
When a three-digit group is 000, English skips that group in the word form. This keeps one million shorter and easier to read.
