I have long given up on understanding the english terms for big numbers above billion.
I know Billion is 1000 Million, because that's a sum which you regulary use in EveOnline.
But other than that... give me 10^x notations.

In German it's simple: Million, Milliarde, Billion, Billiarde, Trillion, Trilliarde and so on.
Alternating between *ion and *iarde for each *1000 step and using latin numbers, quadr, quint, sext, sept, okt...
All things neatly in order like they should be!
