// * Spellout rules for U.K. English. U.K. English has one significant
// * difference from U.S. English: the names for values of 1,000,000,000
// * and higher. In American English, each successive "-illion" is 1,000
// * times greater than the preceding one: 1,000,000,000 is "one billion"
// * and 1,000,000,000,000 is "one trillion." In British English, each
// * successive "-illion" is one million times greater than the one before:
// * "one billion" is 1,000,000,000,000 (or what Americans would call a
// * "trillion"), and "one trillion" is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.
// * 1,000,000,000 in British English is "one thousand million." (This
// * value is sometimes called a "milliard," but this word seems to have
// * fallen into disuse.)
// Could someone please correct me if I'm wrong about "milliard" falling
// into disuse, or have missed any other details of how large numbers
// are rendered. Also, could someone please provide me with information
// on which other English-speaking countries use which system? Right now,
// I'm assuming that the U.S. system is used in Canada and that all the
// other English-speaking countries follow the British system. Can
// someone out there confirm this?
