PAR35: Sorry, I missed that, you were correct.

Lancey: Yes, what they call a billion is a million million (10^12), or what we call a trillion, whereas our billion is a thousand million, or 10^9. What the Brits call a trillion (a million million million, or 10^18) we call a quintillion.

I'm not sure if the Brits have a name for a thousand million.
