How to pronounce numbers in English?

Hello!

I have a question entirely unrelated to Latin/Greek. I'm regularly reading about astronomy, and every time I encounter certain numbers, I am wondering how to properly express them in English. Can anyone help me and spell them out for me? It's been bothering me for ages not knowing how to pronounce such numbers.

Examples for numbers (scientific notation):
  • 1.5 x 10^-2 W/kg
  • 2 x 10^3 W/kg
  • 4 x 10^26 W

missing words

When I started my study of Latin I already knew that the articles had to be supplied but as I gain experience translating texts it seems just about any word can be omitted if the context is clear. Did the Romans speak this way in casual conversation?

A useful font?

The terms of the license are actually a bit puzzling, but I think it's safe to say that if you keep electronic documents for yourself using both Greek and Latin scripts, this might be a useful font to have around: "The Brill" Typeface.

Normally I'm an "all Gentium all the time" guy, but I expect to slough off this mortal coil before there is ever a bold Greek face for that family.

Support button in the way

The sideways Support button on the left of the page obstructs one's writing and one's reading. Can textkit or I move it somehow? It is quite annoying and unique to textkit.

So do messages frequently get deleted with the excuse

Unread forums

Certain forums here, like the "Learning Greek" board, have a tendency to appear as unread (with a red icon) when there is nothing new within them. Is the cause of this known?

Firefox has labeled Textkit an attack site

Hi.

I cannot access the site for the past few days without being noticed that Textkit is an attack site.
Would the admins please address the issue and ask Firefox to remove this warning
since this is clearly not an attack site and has never been one?

Regards,
Nate.
