[edit] Slang?

This word is in the dictionary and is used in the way defined - is it still considered slang? - 64.93.237.116 01:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

You are quite correct, umpteen is not slang. I have fixed it to have a definition closer to what the author probably intended. Metsfanmax 21:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

• Support merge The other page envelops everything this page reports. — ScouterSig 16:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, the articles should be merged. Brandonrush 21:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support, as long as ... - We'd have to really rework Indefinite and fictitious large numbers, which right now is entirely about "zillion" and its "-illion" counterparts. (The page was zillion until pages were moved around in late 2006.) Just slapping this at the bottom won't work; we would have to rewrite the top of the "indefinite..." article, then make Zillion and Umpteen and perhaps some others "words" as sections within it. - DavidWBrooks 01:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
