Dramadigits
|
|
A dramadigit is a number with too many significant figures, usually to emphasize the importance of the number; the more digits produce the appearance of being more precise or scientific. A dramadigit may have many non-zero digits after the decimal or, in the case of large numbers, may include extraneous non-zero digits before the decimal. For example, reporting the U.S national debt limit is $11,314,872,345,061 is a dramadigit, where $11.315 trillion is sufficient. Another example is a blood alcohol content of 0.061053%, which indicates a high level of precision. A value of 0.06% BAC or 0.061% BAC is useful for law enforcement. |
