All this is why I prefer format() over numberFormat. The function is
more versatile and you get exactly what you specify with less guess work.

Yaknow, this whole thing is confusing. Turns out you don’t even need to set the
numberFormat.
put 4.21911e+11 + 0 results in 421910000000.

Nope.
The "numberFormat" property is perfectly happy with quotes around its
formatExpression. It is also perfectly happy without it. But I always use quotes for
things like this.

put 4.21911e+11
End mouseUp
