The U.S. uses the short scale method. In the U.S., we call 1,000,000,000 a billion, not a thousand million or a milliard. The short scale has been taught exclusively in schools for a very long time, and few Americans even know that "one billion" can, for much of the world, refer to what Americans call a trillion.
