jump in a tell me what the next iteration of the "illion" is
above trillion,
>> because that is the proper term here.)

I think it's confusing but it's probably Americans that are doing it
wrong.
I always preferred metric SI units: kilo, Mega, Giga, Tera, Peta...
no language differences, no opinion differences, just look it up.
It has always bothered me, however, that units less than Mega are
lower case, rather than making all units greater than unity upper
case. ("kilo" is never spelled upper case, but it should if it were
consistent. :-)
