We haven't, a Billion has always been 1 followed by 12 zeroes (1,000,000,000,000).
It depends if you use 'long scale' or 'short scale', America tends to use the 'short scale'
more then the rest of the World, so in 'short scale' terms a Billion is 1 followed by 9
zeroes (1,000,000,000). In 'long scale' terms that would be a thousand million.
Look on the bright side, it is easier to become a billionaire in America then it is the rest of the World.
