(I'm not native english speaker but) I thought that saying: "billion trillion" was incorrect.. and it was used only by kids to pop a whatever huge number.

Haha nice!

While a billion trillion isn't the best way to say it - it isn't that strange - like saying twenty-two hundred instead of two thousand two hundred
