    If it makes more sense to put the unit before the number, then couldn’t one argue we should be writing people1.5B or airplanes1.5B? That way we know what it is before we read the number.

      Sure. Some languages do that. It’s totally viable. Our language doesn’t work that way though so you won’t see it, outside of money.
