Usage notes

[edit]
  • Until the early 20th century,million behaved much like an ordinary quantificational noun (such aspair orhandful). That is, it inflected in the plural when modified by a numeral greater than 1, and was separated from the noun it quantified withof, as in:five millions of pounds (rather than the modern equivalent,five million pounds).
