    Default How do you write a billion?

    How do you write a billion?
    wikipedia states that people use either of two ways.

    Billion may mean:
    • Either of two numbers (see long and short scales for more detail):
      • 1,000,000,000 (one thousand million; 109) - increasingly common meaning in English language usage
      • 1,000,000,000,000 (one million million; 1012) - increasingly rare meaning in English language usage; standard meaning in many other languages
    (゚Д゚≡゚Д゚)

    Roy: [singing] We don't need no education.
    Moss: Yes you do; you've just used a double negative
