Well, they didn’t say in what currency. The ZWD-USD exchange rate is (or was at 1615 EDT today, anyway; it changes so fast) more than 200-1. After they redenominated the ZWD down by a 10 billion(!) to 1 ratio.

And how many decimal points do they include, do you suppose?

Three figures on one check, three on another?

This is an opportunity to write and sell “Deanna Hoak’s Guide: Copyedit Until You’re Filthy Rich.” $19.95, and for $29.95 you’ll throw in a second copy for free!

I’m sure you can earn six figures proofing books. It’ll just take you about forty years or so.
