Several million people obviously disagree with your
conclusion.

Only one million iPhones have been sold.

1.389 Million.

Is that several million?

It's a more accurate number than you or the poster you responded to
provided.

You honestly think 1.389 million is closer to "several million" than
it is
to one million? Just what do you use for brains? I ask for
information
only.

Do you honestly think that 1 Million = 1.389 Million?

How do you get several million out of 1.389 million?


How do you get 1 million from 1.389 Million?

By being slightly out of date with current sales figures.

You....slightly out of date with news.....I'm shocked....



Your turn:



How do you get several million out of 1.389 million?

That's got to refer to at least 3 million, and I can't wait for you to
show how that's closer to 1.389 million than 1 million is.

According to dictionary.com...

"being more than two but fewer than many in number or kind: several ways of
doing it. "

So 2.01 Million could be several....so they were off by 68% (1.38/2.01) ,
you were off by 73% (1/1.38)

You have to remember, k, Edwin is the guy who claimed that 30 was closer
to 1 than "about 1" was to 1.
