When we passed 100,000 , 200,000 , 300,000 etc articles there was a fair bit of fanfare.
I think it is only right therefore to announce that en passed the 100,000,000 word mark earlier this month.
This is about the same size as Columbia, Encarta Deluxe and EB put together, and if printed would weigh about the same as George Bush.
How many kilos, what kind of paper and how many words pr/page ? (I have no idea how heavy George Bush is (Is this the new measurement for weight in the spirit of "football fields" and "vw beatles"?))
Across all languages we reached this milestone back in January, and are now up to 220,000,000 words.
Qualitätsoffensive, anyone?
