From Québec, couldn't care less about the rest.

I've heard something like “Ils sont combien à Toulouse ? — À peu près 1 millions 2” very often. And I don't mind using it either. Though you're right that a break is sometimes needed if you want to precise the actual unit later. | |
| Sep 24, 2015 at 11:43 | comment | added | Stéphane Gimenez | “Un point deux millions” is clearly not French (at least in France). “Un virgule deux millions” is, but it's generally used in formal speech, not in casual conversation. | |
| Sep 24, 2015 at 11:40 | comment | added | Stéphane Gimenez | I suggested to add “exactement” to the other answer, but I'm afraid that if you put the “exactement” after saying the number, the warning comes too late. People could think that the value which they rightfully understood as 1 100 000 in an "approximative" context is surprisingly the actual value. | |

| Sep 23, 2015 at 6:14 | comment | added | GAM PUB | I completely agree with millions being treated as a unit noun and the trailing numbers a sort of further estimate. I do not believe however that large number behave this way in general but only the numbers stuck between a million (or a milliard) and the following *mille. I never had any trouble at all with numbers like 1.234.567. | |
