Using Numbers in English

Numbers are basically international, but languages use them in surprisingly different ways. English and Swedish each have their own culture of numbers, with sometimes obvious, sometimes subtle differences. These can produce misunderstanding, confusion, irritation, or even laughter if expressions are transferred verbatim between the two languages. This book unearths scores of distinctions between Swedish and English - and between American and British usage - in the realm of numbers.
