Seti hit 4 MILLION Users today! That’s 4,000,000 for you guys across the pond.

A million is a thousand thousand, wherever you are. It's the billion that the UK and US can't agree on. In the UK we liked to think of it as a million millions, but the US Version has always been a thousand million (just to make everything look bigger ).

Of course, the US Version is now becoming the standard, just like with everything else.

Are you guys joking? A billion doesn't mean a billion every where you go? What do you call a thousand million over there then?
