RE: Pruning
A million is 'decies centena milia' in Latin, but nice derivative of Latin
numbers in the English language! Not sure what a billion is in Latin? Then
there are the big numbers...googol and googolplex, their origins are the
mind of a child. (See link below) A googol has one hundred zeros, not to be
confused with a gaggle, which usually starts with 3-7 goose eggs ;)
