    No one answered me, but I've always been curious. If the Brits call: 1,000,000 a million and 1,000,000,000 a billion what do they call 1,000,000,000? Anyone know? Lor

        I'm British, and to me 1,000,000,000 is one billion. In your question, you said: If the Brits call: 1,000,000 a million and 1,000,000,000 a billion what do they call 1,000,000,000? Both of which are the same

          If you meant 1,000,000,000,000 then that is 1 trillion

            David I messed up this question when I re-asked it. The original questions was: If... 1,000,000 is a million 1,000,000,000,000 is a trillion so then what do the Brits call 1,000,000,000? Lor

                  OK. Brits call: 1,000,000 a million and 1,000,000,000,000 a billion (not a trillion) (A billion is a million million) (1,000,000,000 is a thousand million) But, I think the world is starting to standardise on the American billion (1,000,000,000), even in Britain
