Mornin' McGruff--Can you please top off my first post with this: (THX!!!) People sometimes ask me the names of the large numbers. Here is a table. The system used in the U.S. is not as logical as that used in other countries (like Great Britain, France, and Germany). In these other countries, a billion (bi meaning two) has twice as many zeros as a million, and a trillion (tri meaning three) has three times as many zeros as a million, etc. But the scientific community seems to use the American system.

It's worth noting that most people in Great Britain also use the American system now. Jul 31 06, 8:02 AM
