@non_saturatio @chrisgn @stux hahaha 😆 I was talking about the number of Transformers I wanted. Living in the US, I was using the English definition and my mom used it as a teaching moment |
@losfromcp
Really? :))) I wonder what huge thing was the kid you talking about.
I guess it's language economy somehow. It's more economic to reserve the "different" term for the longest phrase, so we substitute "millón de millones" better than "mil millones". Also you can use "trillón" para "un millón de billones" and so on.
How do you say "a million of millions of millions" in English?
Nvm, I'm going dizzy omg lol
