I just don’t believe in them, there isn’t enough objective evidence to support it for me.
oh mannnnn 
you think too highly of me bro, im an old ass dude still wanting to do that but about as close to the degree as you are
Like @Woco21, I’ve got plenty of brains but funds/work/stupidity have kept me from diving full on into it 
I’m as Mexican as you can get bro, landscaping 
I’ve mentioned it before plenty but probably in threads you don’t frequent maybe
Sweet thread by the way!

MMM… Sweet Hamster “Mah Mah Mah, my brain hurtz…”
This is more related to Math.
In my case (and all the Spanish speakers, I guess) after the 999 999 999 comes the 1 000 000 000 that number according to my education is a thousand million, but for the resto of the word (English people in particular) is one billion. When one billion comes after 999 999 999 999.
Why does exist this different?
I am glad you guys are enjoying the thread @the_termin8r & @framos1792, it is a mind massaging exercise indeed lol. Now back to the topic, here’s another question:
Why do we sound different on audio recordings?

If I remeber correctly, you hear your voice differently because the sound travels through your skull and head as well as air to reach your ear drums, as opposed to just air to reach a mic. As a result, the sound you hear is slightly distorted. The recording is how you actually sound.

I am assuming this would be a better of how we are taught. In the UK they say “Math” as “Maths” and such. It is the memes of education and how we are taught it I believe, I mean, I’m from America but understand what you mean.
That’s related easy to explain. The human ear capture the sound waves in different way, but a machine doesn’t. When you speak you hear your our voice, but the others hear a tune different.
Wanna know how do others hear you? Put two books next to you ear and say whatever, that’s the voice others hear.

Because 'murica. I’m pretty sure they’re the ones to start this trend. To me, a million million is a billion, and indeed that is the correct definition of a billion, not a thousand million.
@IronSoldier16 Gah, no wonder I never reaslly liked how I sounded in recordings, i would do them over and over again xD. But now I just try to be mistake free lol. Thanks for the answers guys, keep em coming!

Then 3 millions would be?
That’d be three thousand thousand. Or did you mean a million million million?
This. Also the rest of them…
That would be a million billion. As a million million is a billion and then you have a million left over. To get to a trillion you’d need a billion billion I think.

More than less like a one and eighteen zeros to write million million million or how do you write that number?
Pretty much, with every million you add 6 zeros. You only go to the next prefix when both numbers have the same prefix. I.e. Go to a billion when you get to a million million and a trillion when you get to a billion billion and so on…

I guess I got it.
When I reach a trillion trillion I go with quadrillion, right?
Yeah, I think.
