Box office take
I've reverted your edits to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey wherein you changed the box office take from $1.021 billion to $1.021 million. I recognize this as a language variant problem. The article, about an American movie, written largely in American English, utilizes American numerical standards as well, where 1.021 billion = 1 021 000 000. In America, 1 billion = 109 = 1 000 000 000. I know that in England, 1 billion = 1012 = 1 000 000 000 000. I also know that in England and much of the world, the decimal separator is denoted by a comma, so "one and 21 thousandths" is written as 1,021, whereas in the US, this number is written as 1.021. So, with these regional variations, it is easy to get confused. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:16, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
