Your 'b' argument does not hold. The term 6 figure already covers 100,000 ~ 999,999. If you say 'over 6 figure' you can only mean 1,000,000+. Let's drop this now, ok? | ||

100 001 or 150 000 do not have any more figures than six. If something is over (6 figures) then the number is atleast 1 000 000 | ||

If something is over (6 figures) then the number is atleast 1 000 000 Logically, yes. Colloquial, no. Colloquially "Over 6 figures" means over the lowest number that can be displayed by 6 figures, so over 100'000. Don't try to apply logic to language and common phrases. So, please just stop arguing. HuK probably gets a ton (metric ton or not, your choice) of money and it's good for him. He understands that it's not the best decision in terms of training and friends, but it's a decision for which he had reasons that most people here can not understand because they were never in that situation. | ||

Please man, seriously. This whole thing what you are trying to defend is just purely peoples misconceptions based on uneducational beliefs like i said already. Over 6 figures never means 100 000+, it means million or more. Unless we are in precision of decimals when 7 figures takes place earlier. | ||

Let's drop this now, ok? It's not an argument, it's a valid interpretation of the english. In b, "over" does not apply to "6", it applies to the compound phrase "6 figures", so anything over a 6 figure amount (100000) would count. I'm sorry, but you don't get to dictate how English is interpreted. | ||

You are trying to claim that it is not somekind of english colloquial but it is not. | ||

It would be awesome if IdrA and HuK suddenly decided they would respect each other but I don't really see that happening, at least not to the level that i'd like to see. Idra stated many times that there is no problem/conflict/drama with Huk. | ||

So i think although it isnt the perfectly correct way of saying it i do indeed think that over 6 figures would mean more than 100.000. If u wanted to say he would earn a million you wouldnt say over 6 figures because it would be much too vague and could mean anything (million, ten million etc.) case closed, i win  | ||
