Same in Turkey. We say Milliard instead of Billion. In my childhood I can swear it was like Million->Milliard->Trillion->Trilliard. They were in daily language because 1 Million Turkish Lira was like a few dollars. At some point they decided Trilliard does not exist and it became something like a Mandela Effect for me. We never used Billion though.
- fsniper 1y agoI still don't know which is which. Just give me the power to the 10, Is it 10^9 or 10^12? Who know?
