I thought that math was screwed up. And WTF is the differing billion thing about?? BTW: Wiki never lies:
1,000,000,000, i.e. one thousand million, or 109 (ten to the ninth power), as defined on the short scale. This is now generally the meaning in both British and American English.
Maybe if you updated your browser or OS you'd know this  |
