b'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'
