This page http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-language_numerals gives a
not particularily definitive naming convention and explains the difference
of the "and" between British and American. So if sequences are using
American english, this should at least be mentioned in their definitions.
Once this clarification is made, the finer points may be left to the
inhabitants of the (ex-)colonies.
