A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.

Bill Cosby
You are my torquay, my only torquay, you make me happy when skies are grey, you'll never know, just, how much i love you, so don't take my torquay away.

current population.... 66 million

Current population of India: 1.21 billion (A billion is a million million)
While I agree with that statement entirely, the now universally accepted billion is the sh1te American version ie 1000 x million.
Still a lot though......

Everyone, hence 'universally' accepted. :-/
I personally say "a 1000 million" but the billions you are commenting on regarding population is the American version, as is a billionaire, any use of the word in financial circles, pretty much everything.

So if I don't accept it, then it cannot be universally accepted. You're thought for the day.. :nod:

I'm on your side, I don't like it either, yet another Americanism that's crept in and is now fully established unfortunately.
I just said, it's universally accepted-should have added EXCEPT GULLSCORER! :-/

Happy the man, and happy he alone,
he who calls today his own,
he who, secure within, can say:
"Tomorrow, do thy worst,
for I have lived today."

John Donne.

Andy thinks nobody loves him. Give him a typist to dictate to, and he'll be fine..
this ones for you andy (its not aimed at the 2 above at all, its just to cheer you up). =D
