The cardinal number equal to 10 to the 21 power.\n\nin Britain it is equal to 10 to the 36 power.\n\nin Germany, it is called a trilliard.\n\n\nFrance (By decree 61-501 of 3 May 1961, modified by decree 75-1200 of 4 December 1975 and 82-203 of 26 February 1982.  Sextillion is the largest number name legally defined. Names ending in “-iard”, though they can still be found in the dictionary, are no longer legal.)

It's a form of slang.  The official language of the US is English, the American version of it.

England....they predate the metric system, for example a "foot" is roughly the length of an adult male's foot.\nNot sure why we don't use the metric system.  There was a big push to switch when I was in elementary school, but it never happened.

Never heard of that one!! Despite spending even longer in England than pniccimiss!!\n\nBut there are always new slang terms evolving, so it may be in use among the 'yoof' of today!!\n; )\n\nIt's not an official or colloquial 'English' term though, but it could become one with frequent use!

I have taken it a couple years ago. I had the impression it is recognized in many western European countries. I have not yet met anyone in the US who knew about it.

As it has been said, there are some kind of "rules" linguists apply to determine the gender of a new word.\nNow, who "decides"?\nIn France, there is an institution called "l'Academie Francaise" which is usually the most influent authority on these matters, though the teams working on the dictionaries are also quite listened to.\nIn England, the English spoken by Cambridge-Oxford scholars is considered "standard".\n\nIn a nutshell, each country has its own system regarding the evolution of the language.

There is no German Mark any longer. They use the Euro. But if there were, it would be about $1.00= 1.53 marks.

Well I'm not in France so I don't know for certain there is anything different at yahoo.com there - then here in the US.  But my belief is there would be no difference, so yes they can.  \n\nHowever you might want to check out other web resources for getting a simple web page.  There are lots and I mean lots of options available.\n\nSearch the key words "web site" and you'll see what I mean.

The English language doesn't generally add an 'e' for gender, what you are experiencing is a leftover from the French language.  There is a lot of French mixed into the English language.\n\nIn French, nouns have a gender and adjectives have to agree with the gender of the noun they are modifying.  There are many variations but normally this is done by adding an 'e'.\n\nIn English, 'blond' or 'blonde' are both acceptable for either men or women as we don't normally distinguish between gender for nouns and adjectives.  Since we kbow that French people use 'blonde' for female situations then we sometimes do the same but it doesn't really matter.\n\nEnglish is not a pure language and we absorb many words from other languages so there might be other examples out there but they are not really pure English.  Its very difficult to be scientific about any language but especially English.

Blame the French.\n\nAlso, I just want to thank Fairy for providing the male answer, thus saving me from having to.\n\nThe whole thing is blooming ridiculous by the looks of it. Assimilating from here, it seems that in the UK, the Royal Mail uses postmen, but in the US the Postal Service uses Mailmen.\n\nWhen are they going to stop pretending that they speak English?

I don't really understand what you are asking.  The United Kingdom is a completely separate countries from the United States.  Most American commercial web addresses end in ".com" and most British (UK) web addresses end in ".uk.co".

Lol, who knows? I come from the UK and sex ed is compulsary here but still we seem to have the highest teen pregnancy's in the whole of Western Europe. Sex ed's important though, because it teaches about protection against pregnancy and STD's....I find it quite important that high school kids must know it.

Salut,\n\n Hope you find this interesting:\n\n"In Louisiana when we jouer à la pelote, it is typically a game of baseball, football or soccer that we are referring to.  Careful, though, because for our French-speaking Canadian neighbors, la pelote refers to female genitalia.\n\n\nCajuns try not to be shocked if newly arrived Canadians remark upon all the grosses bibittes in South Louisiana.  They mean the roaches and other insects.  They're not being lewd; they simply haven't yet learned that bibitte in Louisiana French refers to male genitalia."

You are my son : Tu est mon fils\nYou are my daughter : Tu est ma fille\n\nThere's no difference if the speaker is male or female. You just say the same thing according to the sex of the object.
