  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?
