Label your axis, child.

Awful formatting: 872 isn't even in millions, or thousands, it's in 10's of thousands...weird

Yeah, the type of google doc graph I was using didn't allow me to label the axis. I changed it to a new one, but I still kinda of prefer the old.

The ten of thousands thing is a little awkward, but google docs wasn't letting me set a minimum value for the y axis. Doing it by the actual raw NS wouldn't fit on one screen correctly. But millions of NS...cmon. Maybe thousands. Ten of thousands is a nice compromise I think.

Millions of NS would work quite well. It would be easier for people to understand. Considering most of us are Western natives (and not Chinese), our counting system/thought process doesn't work too well with 10k as a counting unit (ie, if someone said 500 ten-thousand, people would have to take an extra 30 seconds or whip out a calculator to understand it's the same thing as 5 million). In Chinese, however, 10k can be used as a "counting unit", since there's a "word" that means exactly 10k (万, pronounced wan) and another "word" that means 1k (千, pronounced qian). The 10k as a "counting unit" is pretty weird and out of the norm for the West.

Your axis would run from around let's say 3.00 million to around 17.00 million and that's not too bad design wise.
