Maybe you are restricting the discussion to American and British English, which I am not very qualified to argue about, but they are in common use in my native Finnish and many other European languages.
- sellyme 6y agoYeah in most common forms of English you will likely go your entire life without ever hearing a single person use the long scale forms. Many of the words in other languages that used to translate to the (long) "million", "billion", etc. now actually translate to the esoteric "milliard", "billiard" in English.
