| // * Spellout rules for U.K. English. U.K. English has one significant |
| // * difference from U.S. English: the names for values of 1,000,000,000 |
| // * and higher. In American English, each successive "-illion" is 1,000 |
| // * times greater than the preceding one: 1,000,000,000 is "one billion" |
| // * and 1,000,000,000,000 is "one trillion." In British English, each |
| // * successive "-illion" is one million times greater than the one before: |
| // * "one billion" is 1,000,000,000,000 (or what Americans would call a |
| // * "trillion"), and "one trillion" is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. |
| // * 1,000,000,000 in British English is "one thousand million." (This |
| // * value is sometimes called a "milliard," but this word seems to have |
| // * fallen into disuse.) |
| |
| // Could someone please correct me if I'm wrong about "milliard" falling |
| // into disuse, or have missed any other details of how large numbers |
| // are rendered. Also, could someone please provide me with information |
| // on which other English-speaking countries use which system? Right now, |
| // I'm assuming that the U.S. system is used in Canada and that all the |
| // other English-speaking countries follow the British system. Can |
| // someone out there confirm this? |
