Seems like a sensible move.

Bet they’re going to need a bit of time to re edit that then or else it could potentially cost them another billion👨🏿‍💻

One Billion.

Not sure if that is $ or £.

Is that an American billion or a British billion?

As to the currency, well it won't make much difference before long.... $:-\$
Us and UK billions are the same

Us as in the 'Royal We'?

You are of course correct that an American billion is the same as a British billion, but it wasn't always the case.

A British billion was a million million and an American billion was a thousand million. Britain started using the American version in the 1970's I believe.

I'm far too young to remember this of course.
I thought it was still a million million here. Obviously didn't get the memo.

Sorry to hear that all your billions aren't worth as much as you thought Ron.

Will be phoning my accountant first thing tomorrow.
