        Imperial trillion, metric billion.

        In the US of A, 1T = 1.000.000.000.000 (1B is 1.000M, and so forth)

        In the metric system, 1T= 1.000.000.000.000.000.000 (1B = 1.000.000M, and so forth)

        That’s why in other languages you sometimes hear “a thousand million”, although I agree with you in that the most common way of counting on the internet is with imperial billions.
