    what we English speakers call a quintillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000

    Irritatingly, that’s a quadrillion, not a quintillion.

      Holy fuck, that is irritating. I was still in bed. Leaving it for posterity. Thanks for pointing it out. Even more irritating, I said each “billion” is a group of six zeros. Technical definitions aside, should have been “million”.
