It might be of interest to note that the United States Code does not use the word billion anywhere, probably because of just such a concern.  In anycase, since we do emulate American government, it would seem logical that we use the illogical American definition of billion.

Further checking shows that billion does show up in the CFR, so just go ahead and promulgate a Treasury regulation for what a billion and a trillion mean and that should do the trick, Secretary Beef.

I always thought that the switch to decimal money was a bad move all around.  I like British TV and movies set before 1970, when they'd talk about "one and six" or "half a crown" or a "ten-bob note."

"7 1/2 p", "12 1/2 p", and "50 p" just don't sound as romantic.

Now you're just trying to get their groat. Smiley
