This looks like it will be quite useful for anyone practicing languages that have their own word for 10,000 (Chinese, Japanese, etc), thanks!
In Chinese, the number "100,000" is not read as "100 thousand", rather it is "10 ten-thousands". This makes translating numbers in the range of 100,000-10,000,000 a bit awkward if you are not used to it.
