  Holy fuck, that is irritating. I was still in bed. Leaving it for posterity. Thanks for pointing it out

  Until the 70s, “billion” meant1,000,000,000,000. What we call a billion was a thousand million. Each “billion” meaning a group of six zeros. Now we use"short" form. French still uses “long” form. So when they say “thousand billion,” they probably are talking about what we English speakers call a quintillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000
