I believe the "long" usage is dead in Britain,
but it may still be alive in France.

	1e3	thousand             thousand
	1e6	million               million
	1e9	billion      thousand million; milliard (rare)
	1e12	trillion              billion
	1e15	quadrillion  thousand billion
	1e18	quintillion          trillion

I assume getting the difference so wrong in the wrong direction was 
meant as funny.
