I rest our case.
What case? You don't think I ever actually use the awful, pretentiously silly-sounding "milliard" do you?

No, you say thousand million. I thgought we were arguing about what a billion meant. BTW, do you have a thousand billion between billion and trillion? Is there a corresponding awful, pretentious silly sounding billiard?

and I'm ignoring the obvious pool cues... for fear that it wouldn't really be me who says it, just some fabrication from someone else's mind coming out of mine through manipulation....

No, I don't - I say a billion. The US won that war long ago. As for a billiard, I'm not sure. I don't know how to break this to tou, but I think your question was poorly framed. Unlike etaoin, I can take a cue, and since I'm now totally cornered, will chalk this one up to experience.

Do you think Bill Gates would be any more popular if he were only a millionaire (times sixty thousand, or whatever)?

Who wants the bother of a country estate?
A country estate is something I'd hate!
