> [@zazzmatazz\_Xu](#): > > English to metric measurement Or, as they’re called in the UK, Imperial measurements. Not English measurements. (In the UK, we don’t use imperial for much these days. Miles, sure. And human heights and weights. Pretty much everything else is in metric, which just makes more sense.) ---

> [@zazzmatazz\_Xu](#): > > So looking at contracts today I came across a BPC I wanted, had the ISK, accepted contract, failed, not enough is, price says billion, but price is really trillions. Yea that looks like 3.4 Billion ISK at first glance. But it isn’t. Regional differences\* in the use of [decimal separators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator) and different uses of the [long and short scales](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales) makes it easy to accidentally mess up trading with these large numbers, and a mistake of three zeroes will be a costly one. When in doubt, count the zeroes. \*_Your amount of 3 400 000 000 000 ISK would actually be 3,4 ‘Biljoen’ ISK where I’m from (the Netherlands), or 3400 ‘Miljard’ ISK. Still a 1000 times more than you would expect. 😛_ ---

I sold my first ever contract in Jita local by calling it “definitely a scam contract”. True story. Then I sweet-talked another player into free T2 rigs in a Bhaalgorn by promise of some sort of pictures… I miss the old Jita… wait… no I don’t! ---

WTF is with you CCP apologists? The way they print numbers might be accurate, but it’s completely stupid. Kind of like me telling people that I’m 0.00113636 miles tall. Accurate…but stupid. ---

> [@zazzmatazz\_Xu](#): > > It may be accurate but like all things it is not always clear at first glance, but that’s what we call “fine print” or manipulation to deceive others, CCP may not mean it to be deceitful but bottom line it is a way to trick others. It’s not really fine print though. Your picture’s cleary show a significant price difference to the other contracts. They are even ordered **by price!** If you fall for something that isn’t clear at first glance, you’re obviously not taking enough glances. Always double check the information when it comes to contracts. Always. ---
