I billion is still 1,000,000,000,000, Hammer.

Politicians might use 1,000,000,000 to represent a "billion" but mathematicians know it to be lie.  Innumerates might use the short "billion" but that does not make it actual billion.

Run along, liar.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour.  Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

What would be innumerate would be looking at figures of government expenditure and thinking the billions referred to multiples of a million.

From the RBA glossary

billion – One thousand million

Brian you should give up playing the academic, you are waaaay too stupid to pull it off.

I do not recall ever seeing a billion used to refer to 1e^12.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

And Jesus the Gay Jew Messiah said unto his Jewish people from upon the Cross, where they placed him.
"Wait until my little Redneck Jew Prophet brother Hitler gets yas - ya bastards!"



...and now for something completely different!

A Moslem Gay Messiah to die for the sins of his people,
who have followed the path of his little Redneck Prophet Brother - Mohommed.


...what goes around, comes around.  Wink
