# Talk:Nathaniel Dance

Is there anything that can be done about the way these display? '£5,000 (approximately £338 thousand)' seems odd, I instinctively want to change it to £338,000 rather than read £388 and then the 'thousand' (and I can't see '£5 thousand' working, surely it would be 'five thousand pounds'?). This seems to fit with WP:MOSNUM 'numbers greater than nine are commonly rendered in numerals, or may be rendered in words if they are expressed in one or two words.'  I can't see a way to do it using Template:Formatprice, so I suggest dropping the template and writing the figures normally, but retaining a footnote to the Measuring Worth site.

We could ask on the template talkpage -  I think there must have been a change in behaviour, because I don't rememebr it formatting like this previously.  The disadvantage to changing to just writing it out at the current figures is that I assume that with the template, the calculation is basically perfomed on the fly, so the figures will always be up-to-date.
