Your dictionary is wrong. A trillion is a thousand billion, not a million billion.

Both are correct, the former in the US and the latter in Europe. Assuming his dictionary is British, it is correct.

In Europe - and many other countries, I guess - it goes like this: million, milliard, billion, billiard, trillion, trilliard etc. with each step factored by 1,000x to the next. Truly educated people know the facts as opposed to fractions of it only. /Taro
