I can't stop thinking about the fact that I was in the other room hearing it live when you where recording
-
How could you ever forget Kajillion though?? It completes the alphabet
-
why in the thunbnail are the letter S,E,X in red? 🤨 /edit: forget what i said it was stuped
-
Last time I checked Names have letters in them.
-
The numbers and the alphabet LITERALLY TEAMED UP TO SAY "just kidding" 💀💀💀

It's interesting that J and K are the two letters that never appear in English number names. J makes sense as it's a relatively recent addition to the alphabet, less than 500 years old and thus well after the Latin words used to name large numbers were created, but K is an extremely old letter, albeit one whose usage even in old Latin was very limited due to its sound being interchangeable with C.

Liked the video at 2-illion, subscribed due to fire outro, godspeed
-
I remember watching either this or something like this
-
Fun fact - while the "-illions" start with systematic prefixes (bi-, tri-, quadri-, etc.), "million" does not come from "mono-" + "-illion". It comes from Italian "milione", from "mille" + "-one" (lit. "thousand big"). The "-illion" system is a back-formation.

We need to add Krillion to finally include the letter K
-
You have to go to inconceivably large numbers, but there are numbers with a K, such as Bukkuwaha. Yes, that's a real number. EDIT: So I did a little research. The smallest positive real integer to have a J in its name is tritet jr. That's 4^^4, or 4^4^4^4. The smallest positive real integer with a K in its name is Kilofaxul, which is (200!)!. Both are mind-bogglingly huge numbers.

Bro really said “I’m just kidding, or am 8?”
-
"You don't need J or K when you're counting' Killillion and Jovillion: Are you sure about that?
-
earned yourself a new sub, this was an amazing video.
-
if you count for an infinitely long time, you'll use every letter in the alphabet ...JK

A killillion is equal to 10^(3(10^3000)+3) or 10^(3 novemnonagintnogentillion+3). The term was coined by Jonathan Bowers. In his naming system, it is the smallest positive integer with the letter "k" in the name. Written out in scientific notation, a killillion is: 10^3000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003

3:45 im glad im not the only one who though of this analogy
-
These types of videos are fixing my attention span.

0:47 “both F and U” I feel offended.

Well actually, J and K can be used in some numbers. The way K can be used is by using the SI prefix kilo, abbreviated with K, which is also the abbreviation for thousand. But how to we get J used? You could say made-up numbers like bajillion, but that doesn’t work. The only possible way to use J in a number is using Bowers’ numbers. The second tier 4 “illion” is called a mejillion, which has a J in it. Also since Z is only used in zero, it has to be used somewhere else. The seventh tier 2 illion is called a zeptillion, (not to be confused with septillion) has a Z in it, so the answer is J, K, and Z are used in numbers.
