You can't even post population without lying. Population would have to increase by 40% to be a million.

 My bad.  Nearly is too specific for you. 

Got any comment on the actual issue at hand or you want talk about my grammar and mechanics next?

So a half million is more accurate than a million. The point was and is that you can't even tell the truth about population. And needing a 40% increase isn't "nearly"
