Not that I'd do that. because there are a lot of people who wouldn't deserve it, so I'd give them $1 just to piss them off.  |
In the American version of the English language, words mean different things than in the British version.
British:
1 million = 1,000,000
1 billion = 1 million million = 1,000,000,000,000
1 trillion = 1 millionmillion million = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
American:
1 million = 1,000,000
1 billion = 1 thousand million = 1,000,000,000
1 trillion = 1 thousand billion = 1,000,000,000,000
So, 1 trillion dollars is only about 150 dollars for each man, woman and child on the earth.
