Criminal Sentence 95: Watch Those Zeros

A headline in a newspaper blurb:

"900,00 Midwest homes still lack power after Ike"

As you can see, the last zero is missing. Watch that when you type large numbers.

    On a similar note, I once saw a headline that read something to the effect of "$15 needed to clean up creek" when it should have read "15M needed to clean up creek." You can't leave out that "M"!
