Three Panel Soul:

This is fine.

These light-novel titles get weirder every year.

"Oh thank god, we're off this rustbucket."

Narrator: And then it got worse.

The worst, for either career, is working out that it has to be this awful. Like there's an obvious right way, and that doesn't work because of some aggravating circumstance, and the simple workaround wouldn't fit the use-case, and properly doing what's necessary would be hideously inefficient... so... bodge.

Clunk clunk get it done.

"That just raises further questions!"

NonCredibleDefense regulars just got an eBay alert.

'It's important to get context, like if I make up an insane example.'

Well. "HD."

Fun fact: American English never adopted the French / British "milliard." Western colonization began around the same time that comma separation changed the group above millions. The original bi-millions (as in one million million) became one thousand million. See long and short scales. This American use was later standardized back into British English.

That linguistic artifact, and the implausible difference between twelve megadollars and twelve gigadollars, are the main reasons many Anglophone monoglots just skimmed this headline and shit their pants.

These names... there's gotta be something in the water over there.

You know white is brighter, yes?
