Ferret I noticed you signed the petition making a note of that point. However for us thats actually 2 billion, not trillion.
"The system used in the U.S. is NOT as LOGICAL as that used in other countries (like GREAT BRITAIN, France, and Germany). In these other countries, a billion (bi meaning TWO) has TWICE as many zeros as a million, and a trillion (tri meaning THREE) has THREE times as many zeros as a million, etc."
Dont know why they do it differently, but it sure is easy to be a billion-aire in US :p
Why do they do stupid petitions like these though, have they ever even worked before? lol
