Am I the only one irked by not using the same precision for numbers that should be compared... E.G. "The budget for the huge complex has climbed from $1.6 billion to $2.259 billion." Should be: The budget for the huge complex has climbed from $1.600 billion to $2.259 billion. However in many places the article quotes individual costs in the hundreds of millions. Even though it might be considered less grammatically correct a more reader friendly approach would be to focus on a standard unit of measure (millions of dollars) and present /all/ cost numbers in that scale over the entire article.
