I read "Giga Dollars". To remove the ambiguity of Million, Billion, Millard, Long Million and Short Million perhaps.

Hmm.. but there's no ambiguity in "billion"? There's certainly less than in "giga dollars"

Billion is different in Short (10^9) vs Long (10^12) scale.

See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales

The short scale isn't a thing in English or when talking dollars which is implied by the dollar sign in "$95 billion" and the fact that this is a US company

"$95 billion" simply means $95,000,000,000.00 and there's no ambiguity...

A thread on HN yesterday regarding Credit Suisse where this ambiguity came up. That thread was in English and was about US Dollars.

Are you talking about this comment? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35152388

That doesn't read like anyone is actually confused over the meaning of "billion" , it seems like people are just speculating on whether this error is long/short scale confusion between languages. Personally, I think it was just a typo - there is no conceivable way that a billion CHF could ever be a million USD regardless of the scales used...

Apologies if you're referring to a different comment.

"giga-dollars" i.e. 1 billion dollars

I prefer to use gibi-dollars ($1073741824)

"G" for "Giga", 1e9.
