When someone says the word, "billion" to you, do you ACTUALLY NOT know that it begins with a B?

[FunkyMonkee]

Almost EVERY TIME I hear someone say that word, they ALWAYS HAVE to follow it with, "with a B', but I NEVER hear anyone say, zillion, million, trillion, quadrillion, etc., and follow that with, "with a Q, M, T, Z" or whatever the word begins with! Do they REALLY think we're that stupid that we can't tell that billion starts with a B?

Hi! My name's Bill! That "Bill", with a B!

[NamerOfStars]

No. It's usually done to make sure you didn't mishear and think they meant "million". Sometimes, however, I'll say "That's billion, with an 'R'", just to make sure people are paying attention.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, me, too! That's million, with an F.

It us used for emphasis. A lot of people do not realize that a billion is a thousand millions. A very big number. I have also heard trillion with a T. I think itvwas the result of Bidens spending spree

This is a tricky one.

In i. e. German language the number of zero's included is debatable :D

My brother's name was Bob but he spelled it backwards.

Yeah, but the b's were backwards.

Yeah, I was trying to do that, but this is as far as I could get with that with a keyboard:
