Here's a table with the names in American usage and the (old?) British version. I remember the conventions up through quintillion, but I get a little fuzzy after that. Of course, at that point it makes more sense to use exponential notation anyway. But now I have the urge to find a way to use the word "quattuordecillion" in conversation ...
