I read from decide to decimal.

In America, a "decillion" is a 1 with 33 zeroes behind it but in other areas, it's a 1 with 60 zeroes behind it! Wha?!?!

It turns out they use words with the suffix "-ard" between each of our "-ions" so our "Billion" is their "Milliard", then they have "Billion" (our "Trillion"), then "Billiard" (our "Quadrillion"), then "Trillion" (our "Quintillion"), etc.

The word of the episode is "decidua".

When I read the definition I didn't make the connection that it's in both pregnancy and menstruation. Which really does make sense.
