The second i Larry - Aluminium - the one that you guys drop. It makes me think of a bunch of people in white lab coats sitting around a bar arguing : Aluminum No - Aluminum NO - ALUMINIUM NO - ALUMINUM Look, the periodic table is confusing enough as it is - where trying to get some rhyming conventions so that people find in easier to make sense of. NO WAY, NO DICE - we gave in on Tellurium and Indium, and met you more than half way on Gallium - it's about time you started to see thangs our way. Aluminium ALUMINUM Come on, it makes more sense (Best Cartman voice) Screw you guys - I'm going home Splitter Splitter SPLITTER SPLITTER Did you say Jehovah... oh shit I said it **SPLAT**.

You guys are crazy! Let's just stay on our sides of the ocean. OK!

I'm still lost on the US-British Concept of the TRILLION

I mean We say Hundred, Thousand, Million, Billlion, Trillion

but you guys say Hundred, Tousand, Million, SOMETHING, Billion...

What is between million and billion for you guys? I'm just curiouse... dont tell me its Trillion! if its trillion then that doesnt even make since!!! Trillion should come before Quadrillion not before billion!!
