Not so sure.  I have heard, but not verified, that in GB a Billion is a Million Million which is why they refer to 10^9 as a Thousand Million.  Perhaps some of our British compatriots can confirm or deny this.

Now the letters are determined by the Greek  ( or is it Latin?) designation: kilo,mega, giga, micro, nano, etc and sometimes to keep it clear, you also have to use the Greek letter, such as for "micro".



At least we finally agreed on how much is a billion.  That only took a century or two to settle.
