> Old English rather than Latin?

Another bloody troublemaker! These Australians, really.... ;)

I'll stand by my original question - yes, I reckon the *illions are officailly recognised (personally I'd say the US verzion now rules), yes I know the lower numbers have the OE roots, but then to work it out one needed to either iterate almost endlessly or figure the fact that larger numbers came from Latin and so would not contain...

and yes, wofa, you've got what I was taught too.

hah, think I'll go and lie down now :)
