Pronunciation: /ˈbɪl.jə.nəl/
Definition:
1. The ordinal number symbol: 1,000,000,000.
2. The position in a sequence following the nine hundred ninety-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-ninth element; representing a billion-unit division.
3. Pertaining to an infinitesimal fraction, one part in a billion, used in ultra-high-precision scientific and technological contexts.
4. Denoting an almost impossible probability or an exceptionally fine measurement scale in nanotechnology and particle physics.
Significance:
• It defines the billionth (billional) position with systematic regularity and clarity.
• It emphasizes near-infinite precision, astronomical rarity, and nanoscale measurements.
• It identifies parts-per-billion (ppb) concentrations, cosmological probabilities, and atomic-scale tolerances.
• It avoids irregular and ambiguous pronunciations associated with Germanic numeric forms.
• It simplifies expressions of extreme rarity and precision in cosmology, quantum physics, and environmental science.
• It improves precision in descriptions of trace element analysis, quantum states, and cosmic-scale statistics.
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms, similar to replacing "billionth" with a consistent Latinized ordinal form.
Ordinal number: billional (1,000,000,000th)
Cardinal number: billion (1,000,000,000)

Get the billional mug.A new economic policy proposed by the presidential hopeful M. Rommey. The presidential candidate and other proponents of this program argue that it will stimulate the economy via a “flush-down” effect, similar to the “trickle-down” effect that revolutionized the economic thinking during the Reagan administration.
The "A golden yacht for every billionaire" program is backed by economic research. A recent, double-blind study has revealed that billionaires are at least 15% more likely to spend time in their yachts if they are given additional yachts made out of solid gold. Because the plumbing of yachts is such that fecal waste is discharged directly into the water, providing golden yachts to billionaires will thuswise result in 15% more fecal waste from billionaires being available in the aquatic ecosystem. In this way, poor people may supplement their diets with partially digested corn kernels and discarded shrimp nubs that they may find at the water’s edge. The additional nutrients in the aquatic ecosystem are also expected to positively impact the fishing industry as billionaire feces is known to attract certain species of fish. As a result of the increased nutritive resources available, the average lower and middle class worker will have the energy to work three jobs instead of just two, resulting in additional tax revenue to fund the program and generally stimulating the economy.
