[edit] $14 billion

Sorry, if this question sounds stupid, but I'm German and I need to know this: Does 14 billion mean or ?

I ask this question, because I read this at this German site:

In German, French and "classic" British English, one billion is a thousand million, (10¹²). In the USA (and now in nearly every English-speaking country), the billion is 10⁹. ...

I believe billion in this article is used in the "American" sense (1 * 10⁹), which would be logical, since the price is given in United States dollars. Either way, though, it's a lot of money. 4.243.152.247 02:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
