It's usual in chats, not for formal writing like officially announcing your resignation. At least that's my impression.

Because the few men at the top are just as much richer compared the absolute majority of men as they are to women. So, instead of picking a fight with 50% of humans, most of which share your problem, it would be far more useful to handle so

Depends on context. The difference between 10^34 and 10^35 is the difference between a baby and a full-grown adult in planck sizes. For a more relevant example, a terrabyte is an unit we regularly work with that is ~10^18 bytes and an order

I don't think they are aiming for the wow factor. Most people arguably watch the weather report to find out how cold or warm it feels outside, which heat index and wind chill are far better at reporting.
