- I've added an accuracy dispute notice. Angela 18:29, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I think this is accurate, though it is unsimple. I have an A level in maths and have also done maths as part of a degree that includes Economics, I suggest this is changed to unsiple and put on peer revue. --Sim 18:30, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- Currently, this article claims that numbers and numerals are both symbols.
- However, the English Wikipeda en:number draws a distinction between "number" and "numeral" (a number is the value of a numeral).
- Using its definition, the symbol "12", the symbol "binary 1100", the cardinal numeral "twelve", and the ordinal numeral "twelfth" -- all are numerals that refer to the number twelve.
- Should we draw the same distinction in this Simple English article, or is this the sort of hair-splitting distinction that makes things unnecessarily difficult to understand?

- Simple English is about using simple words to describe concepts; it is not about being inaccurate. It is about avoiding complex words.--Eptalon (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
long scale
I find the section regarding the long scale rather confusing. I suggest to move this into a separate article and only leave a note that it existed once in English and is still used in many other European languages (languages not "nations").

Is this an appropriate word for the Simple English Wikipedia? I hope somebody can help!
