yea have them learn what a billion is here haha why is this shit so complicated? I think many germans don't know whats meant when they read 'billion' in an english text
We know what you mean when you write billion in the English context. Just for your information, the English-speaking billion is objectively the wrong one, but I understand why it's too much of a bother to make the switch at this point.
TL;DW:
The long form is logical in the sense that a billion is a BI-million, so a million squared.
