First time I used jiffies as an unit of measure I was just kidding, but then went on and discovered that I wasn't the first to use it. But now having millijiffies actually spelled out onscreen, I got a nice showcase of everything l hate about Arial font.

A milliard (aka billion, on this side of the pond). Though I don't understand why a thousand billions (aka quadrillion here) isn't called a billiard :).
