                     @pony The english use of "billion, trillion, quatrillion..." always confuses me.

                           @pony They use it for each thousand of the unit after million. In spanish, it's for each million of unit. An english billion is "mil millones" or "millardo", an english trillion is a "billón" and so on.

                        @nerthos You know the English used to have the Milliard? The non-native Americans jinxed it.

                           @kamikaze Hmm. A fine example of oversimplified language.

                              @nerthos I don't know what's simplifying about it. In the beginning it meant there were 2 competing systems (English and American), which must have been very, very confusing. At least until the American version won on account off horse apples. And even with the unified English, it's still confusing for foreigners. A 700 billion USD bailout?!?! WTF!!111!! Oh, right, it's 700 milliards.

                                 @kamikaze A smaller range of words, using only the "llion" words and skipping the "lliard"
