[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Eight is "otto", yes. That's where they got "yotta". And "sette" is indeed seven, which is what I said above, except that I accidentally spelled it "six". :-) AKB: What are you talking about? Those numbers basically represent how many thousands of thousands you have. "Million" comes from the word for "thousand", so it means a thousand thousand. "Billion" has "bi" meaning "two". So it's a thousand<sup>2</sup> thousand. "Trillion", w/ it's "tri" == "three", means a thousand<sup>3</sup> thousand. And so on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
