:?
Yeah, but we use the US version, the "UK" version is basically from hundreds of years ago.


US Billion = 1000 Million (1 000 000 000)

UK Billion = A million million (1 000 000 000 000)

But they decided that a million million would be too large and would hardly ever be used, so they changed it to the other version (US version)
