//         * Spellout rules for U.K. English.  U.K. English has one significant
//         * difference from U.S. English: the names for values of 1,000,000,000
//         * and higher.  In American English, each successive "-illion" is 1,000
//         * times greater than the preceding one: 1,000,000,000 is "one billion"
//         * and 1,000,000,000,000 is "one trillion."  In British English, each
//         * successive "-illion" is one million times greater than the one before:
//         * "one billion" is 1,000,000,000,000 (or what Americans would call a
//         * "trillion"), and "one trillion" is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.
//         * 1,000,000,000 in British English is "one thousand million."  (This
//         * value is sometimes called a "milliard," but this word seems to have
//         * fallen into disuse.)

    // Could someone please correct me if I'm wrong about "milliard" falling
    // into disuse, or have missed any other details of how large numbers
    // are rendered.  Also, could someone please provide me with information
    // on which other English-speaking countries use which system?  Right now,
    // I'm assuming that the U.S. system is used in Canada and that all the
    // other English-speaking countries follow the British system.  Can
    // someone out there confirm this?
