So, do Europeans have a name for 10 to the 9th? And what about "trillion?"

This is true not only for English but for Spanish as well. In Spain 1
billion = 10 to the 12th, and I believe this is true in France as
well... probably the same for all European countries.
In the US, 1 billion = one thousand millions (10 to the 9th)
Spain (and probably rest of Europe): 1 billion = one million millions
(10 to the 12th)
