I’m being generous here.

For some reason, I cannot spell “personnel,” I want to spell it “personnelle” and “spell checkers” are of little help, they all suggest “personal.” (Thanks, got that one down.) i can certainly see someone having a similar block with Billions and Trillions (especially if when I “learned my numbers” it meant one thing, and then, someone changed it.)


Indeed milliards, a word I learned from Piet Hein, https://archive.org/details/grooks0000piet/grooks0000piet

ATOMYRIADES
Nature, it seems, is the popular name
for milliards and milliards and milliards
of particles playing their infinite game
of billiards and billiards and billiards.
