RE: Vocab-ability Numbers–373 (mill = 1000, thousand) – A More Powerful Vocabulary ... FINAL POST in this series
MY VOCAB PRACTICE:
The laser-guided precision machinery was able to cut parts to an accuracy of a tenth of a milimeter.
Businesses spent millions of pounds on trying to avert the millennium bug in their software.
Millennials tend to shun traditional car buying and either travel by public transport or by taxi.
Millipedes tend to make tasty meals for hedgehogs.
In the 1950's a million was a large number, but more than 50 years later it seems small - you have to be a billionaire to be rich, and a trillion in debt is nothing.
Good work! And thanks for participating in the Vocab Practices exercises. Hope to see you in Round 2.
A trillion dollars of US debt may be nothing, but the 23 trillion is gonna be something. Something very unpleasant, I believe. Good luck!!
