There is only one modern defintion: 10^9. This is what is meant here. Anyone claiming 10^12 == a billion is a historian or a troll.
Your meaning was clear enough. I was reflecting on how “billion” is a still a source of confusion to this day in the UK. So much so that the word is often avoided. It wasn’t that long ago that they changed the definition of a billion .
