These ones are obnoxiously American. I mean, _obviously_ a centillion is 10^600,
not some sub-tiny 10^303. And his "millillion" at 10^3003 is some 2997 orders of
magnitude too small!

I'm tempted to invent a word for his hugest number factorial. Or the factorial
of _that_, perhaps.

However, the biggest number named in any of my conlangs yet is the Tairezan
_gzhour_, which is positively microscopic at 10^8. (If allowed to use compound
numbers - like "five hundred twelve" - I can express all numbers up to 10^16-1
in Tairezazh.)
