That right there is a good thing to note! "Un Milliard" is the English Billion, while "Un Billion" in the English Trillion. While I knew milliard already, I had never gone beyond it, and I'm sure I would have been horribly confused had I run across un billion and not realized it is a thousand times bigger in French than in English :-)
