Note that Jeremy Bowers' usage is standard American usage (billion =
10^9, trillion = 10^12). This is a difference between American English
and British-style English. (I would presume, though I don't know
directly, that Australia and New Zealand probably use the British
style...) In America, "billiard" is only a funny variant on playing
pool. ;)
