15// * Spellout rules for U.K. English. U.K. English has one significant
16// * difference from U.S. English: the names for values of 1,000,000,000
17// * and higher. In American English, each successive "-illion" is 1,000
18// * times greater than the preceding one: 1,000,000,000 is "one billion"
19// * and 1,000,000,000,000 is "one trillion." In British English, each
20// * successive "-illion" is one million times greater than the one before:
21// * "one billion" is 1,000,000,000,000 (or what Americans would call a
22// * "trillion"), and "one trillion" is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.
23// * 1,000,000,000 in British English is "one thousand million." (This
24// * value is sometimes called a "milliard," but this word seems to have
25// * fallen into disuse.)
26
27 // Could someone please correct me if I'm wrong about "milliard" falling
28 // into disuse, or have missed any other details of how large numbers
29 // are rendered. Also, could someone please provide me with information
30 // on which other English-speaking countries use which system? Right now,
31 // I'm assuming that the U.S. system is used in Canada and that all the
32 // other English-speaking countries follow the British system. Can
33 // someone out there confirm this?
