I found this in the Gnu DDrescue manual:
"NOTE: Don't believe everything Usamericans tell you. A billion is a million
millions (million^2), a trillion is
a million million millions (million^3), and so on."
Now, I'm sure it is meant to be funny, but it is also incorrect.
A billion is a thousand millions, and a trillion is a million millions.
This issue has already been discussed here. See
