What was the difference between an American million and an English million?
There is no difference between the long scale million and a short scale million. There is a difference between the billion in these two scales. The American use the short scale so 1 billion to them is 1,000,000,000 or 10^9. We used to use the long scale so 1 billion is 1,000,000,000,000 or 10^12. It should be noted that for simplicity reasons especially with currency the UK have switched to the short scale system as well.
