I think that a UK billion is a million million whereas a USA one is a thousand million. I still don't know how many 0000s though. I'll guess 12 for the UK version and 11 for the USA.

yes, i think it's discalcula. I know exactly what you mean about not being able to read large numbers. I realy struggle with mathamatical concepts and am unable to do realy simple maths, it's as if the numbers fly out of my head.

i think its so sweet when youve been with the one person your whole life
