Names space on threes... ~ above 3, 6, 9 (thousand, million, billion).Each ,000,. The names "billion" and "trillion" mean different things in differentcountries. This is the united state version. There space a couple of more names after "trillion", but they are nearly never used.Links

Some civilization count by `talking" the numbers, rather by `seeing" them.(Source: Feynman"s story (in "Curious Character"?)). You can shot itand see. Counting "1, 2, 3, ...", are you saying "one, two,three", or space you picturing "1", "2", "3"? i say them, butsometimes exercise picturing. Feynman reports the if you to speak them,you have the right to read at the same time, yet may have trouble talking. If youpicture them, you have the right to talk, however reading is difficult. Perhaps Ishould dig up the Feynman story and also flesh this out as a page? Itwould likewise be quite to have a crosscheck ~ above the concept.Notes:Doables:History: 2003-Feb-03 fixed 2 links.
