the English and American "billion" was harmonised many
years ago at one thousand million so there's no confusion.
 
Can you give a reference for that?  I haven't found one.
 
Try this:

american-billions-different
 
It just repeats the myth but doesn't give a reference.
 
It's not a myth. UK and US billions have been harmonized at
1,000,000,000 for as long as I can remember now. As I recall, it
was just done simply via adoption rather than any Act of
Parliament or Statutory Instrument. IIRC, I think the pressure
to do so came from the finance industry.

Do you have a reference that isn't just heresay?
 
You can go to BBC.com and search for stories with "billions". They
obviously mean 1e9.
 
That is not evidence that the two have been harmonised, it just
shows that BBC journalists have adopted American terminology.
 
To harmonise two systems requires formal discussion, decision and
documentation and neither you nor I have found any evidence of that.
 
Fine believe whatever delusions you want to believe but it doesn't
change the fact that a UK billion today is one thousand million.
Period.

You have still produced no no proof for your original assertion that the
UK billion has been harmonised with the US billion, which was the point
in question.  Common misusage does not alter the facts.

I'm not obliged to provide you with *anything*. The fact that I informed
you what a billion is today was a courtesy extended to you by my infinite
patience as a decent human being.

Gas is not stored in Gasometers.
UK pylons do not carry a current of 132,000 volts.
The "Morse Code" was not invented by Morse.

...the fact that most people, including journalists at the BBC, get it
wrong doesn't make it right..
 
Who gets to decide "right"?
 
If I carry a check into a British bank and it says "one billion pounds",
how much will they pay me?

Nothing. You'll bankrupt it. :-)
