I hate to be too uptight about things, but I hear people say the "over one million" or "about one million" in regards to the Austin metro, and I get annoyed. The metro is actually about 1.7 million, and rapidly growing. But if that's too exact for you, and you want to round to the nearest million, then go ahead and say "almost 2 million". It's a heck of a lot closer to the truth.

Okay, now that I got that off my chest...
