Depends on the part of the world! Here in Sweden (and most of Europe?), a
thousand million is called 'miljard', and a billion is one million million.
Sweden US
---------------------------------------------------
Miljon 1 000 000 Million
Miljard 1 000 000 000 Billion
Biljon 1 000 000 000 000 Trillion
Biljard 1 000 000 000 000 000
Triljon 1 000 000 000 000 000 000
etc.
Better use mathematical notation!
