and is a billion officially a thousand million these days?

I'd expect

thousand 1 000
million 1 000 000
billion 1 000 000 000 000
trillion 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000

Yeah, the UK one was a million^2 for a billion, and a billion^2 for a trillion. But whatevs.



Saying "two billion" is better than "two thousand million".

Trillions and billions.
It's all too confusing, why can't we go back to shillings and whatever else there was?
