For those downvoting here an adjacent TIL: million:
mille = thousant
ion = great, big
(i don’t actually know the real english or latin words, and don’t care enough to fact check them) so one million is a big thousand! And the abbriviation is not called mil (that would be thousand) but mio, thats a million. colloquially mil might still mean million, it got lost in translation and those who know are the minority.





Same happend to me :(
