Adopting a new identity and then losing to it in order to get rid of his terrible reputation among the rest of his party? That makes more sense than what actually happened.

There's the proper, logical billion, which is 1,000,000,000,000.
And there's the rubbish billion used in America (and now the UK as well), which is 1,000,000,000, otherwise more sensibly known as a thousand million since that's all it is.

in chinese, there are words for one, ten, hundred, thousand, and ten-thousand
the word for ten-thousand is pronounced "mahn" (with a low tone) in cantonese
in english, there are words for one, ten, hundred, thousand, million, billion, trillion
so
little me observed:
in both languages, the unit after "thousand" starts with a "m" sound
therefore
little me concluded:
in both languages, since the units after "thousand" start with the same sound, and numbers are all the same around the world, they must mean the same thing, both meaning 10^6
FURTHERMORE
little me extrapolated:
since one post-thousand word had the same starting consonant that means the rest of them must too!
Yes, a perfectly good term. Although ten thousand is also perfectly unambiguous.
Really it just annoys me that in this country 'billion' can mean two different numbers that are three orders of magnitude apart. That's not exactly a slight margin, it's a huge difference, and introduces an enormous amount of ambiguity.
What makes it all the more annoying is that the short form (which I maintain makes less mathematical and etymological sense) was only introduced here in imitation of America, in spite of the rest of the world doing things differently.
first, 10^5 is "_sup _mahn", which means "ten ten-thousand", and 10^6 is "bak _mahn" which means "hundred ten-thousand, and 10^7 is "^tseen _mahn" which means "thousand ten-thousand".
I think there might be another word for 10^8, but if there is, it definitely isn't "_bahn" or "_trahn" (or "_zahn", for that matter -- I used to think that "zillion" was the word for 10^12).

also how there are like three different meanings for "ton"/"tonne"
first, 10^5 is "_sup _mahn", which means "ten ten-thousand", and 10^6 is "bak _mahn" which means "hundred ten-thousand, and 10^7 is "^tseen _mahn" which means "thousand ten-thousand".

Ah... I thought you were saying that 'bahn' was Chinese for 109, and that you assumed from that, correctly as it happened, that the number was called a 'billion' in English.

That's all
I knew most of these (Showing off)
I didn't know the difference between turtle and tortoise but in my defense we use the same word for both in Spanish
TRAITOR
I'm reading them in the voice of Heavy Weapons Guy.
is this actually seriously on his door at RMC?
this is actually pretty win
it's probably not him
Like Frankenstein being the creator, not the monster, and bumblebee flight being scientifically understood.

so naturally, 10^9 = billion = bahn
For the wrong reason, but still.

"peruse" has been misused so much no one really knows what it means any more
it means reading quickly or reading slowly
apparently just not reading at a normal speed
I got the wrong end of the stick entirely.
It means to study it slowly and thoroughly; anything else is a misuse and widely recognized as such.
But seriously, please watch that video.
Sipleportt.
