It used to be. Parts of the UK used the "long" scale where a sextillion was 10^36. The short scale values a sextillion at 10^21.
--------------------
America uses the Short scale which is based on powers of a thousand plus one
→ a sextillion = (10³)⁶⁺¹ = (10³)⁷ = 10²¹
The UK used to use the Long scale based on powers of a million:
→ a sextillion = (10⁶)⁶ = 10³⁶
In the 1970s the then Prime Minister declared that all government publications would use the Short scale; the general populace then followed suit - at school in the 1970s the Long scale was taught but now the Short scale is taught.
In the 2010s we have the current government wanting to stay in Europe which uses the Long scale - go figure.
