My dumb ass: “Is it just 1.5m Germans, or other heights too?”
M in million should always be capitalised for this reason.
1.5M Germans vs 1.5m Germans
Megagermans vs milligermans
Megagermans just sound evil.
And milligermans, well there's a vaccine against that I think.
This me me lol. Thank you 😂
1.5 10^6 Germans vs 1.5 10^-3 Germans
Until I read this comment I was 100% certain the post was about short Germans somehow preferring having their balconies occluded by taller-than-them solar panels.
Maybe they’re also nudists, or otherwise like their privacy
1.5m Germans are 150cm people !
