My preference varies by the numbers, and quick thinking is that, I guess bad cases for not having it is worse than having it, such as: 一万一千百十一 vs 一万千百十一: whichever is fine 一千 vs 千: the latter is slightly better 一千万 vs 千万: the former is much better 一億一千百十一 vs 一億千百十一: the former is slightly better Interestingly, Word and Excel disagrees on "千". I recently heard that ICU has a function to format i18n numbers, does anybody know what ICU produces? /koji
