Yes, probably, but it looked like a bizarre typo more than anything else to me, so I was explaining there was a problem (with my ability to parse) at this point, rather then just ignoring it. > > http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakh OK, some hint (markup? <lang...>) would have helped as would a space before the "l". I speak no Indian languages at all. <lang="eo">Tri cent mil</lang> I might have coped with, even without markup. :-) I thought this was a really garbled "31??k", or something. So "can't" was correct. Expressing it entirely numerically would have been an option.
