I read from decide to decimal.\n\xa0\n\xa0\nIn America, a "decillion" is a 1 with 33 zeroes behind it but in other areas, it's a 1 with 60 zeroes behind it! Wha?!?!\nIt turns out they use words with the suffix "-ard" between each of our "-ions" so our "Billion" is their "Milliard", then they have "Billion" (our "Trillion"), then "Billiard" (our "Quadrillion"), then "Trillion" (our "Quintillion"), etc.\xa0\nhttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/decillion\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers\n\xa0\n\xa0\nThe word of the episode is "decidua".\nWhen I read the definition I didn't make the connection that it's in both pregnancy and menstruation. Which really does make sense.\xa0\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decidua\n\xa0\n\xa0\nTheme music from Tom Maslowski\nhttps://zestysol.com/\n\xa0\n\xa0\nMerchandising!\nhttps://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar\n\xa0\n\xa0\n"The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube\n\xa0\n"The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube\n\xa0\n"The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube\n\xa0\n"The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube\n\xa0\n\xa0\nFeatured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list!\nhttps://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/\n\xa0\n\xa0\nBackwards Talking on YouTube:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq\n\xa0\n\xa0\ndictionarypod@gmail.com\nhttps://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/\nhttps://twitter.com/dictionarypod\nhttps://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/\nhttps://www.patreon.com/spejampar\nhttps://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar\n917-727-5757
