If this is describing something real, can anyone add any context? Tokerboy 22:26 Dec 18, 2002 (UTC)
I call it the gigasecond bug. "Billennium" is not a word as far as I am concerned. -phma
Given it's "millenium" -- one n -- isn't this at the wrong spelling anyway? -- Tarquin 11:56 Jan 1, 2003 (UTC)
- "millennium" is correct. It's from Latin mille anni; the rafsi of annus is enn. -phma

- Oops. you're right. I did a search here & didn't check to see they were redirects. "millennium" is one of those words I have a blind spot for :( -- Tarquin
[edit] "Billesecum"?
"Billesecum" has no google hits except for this article. Does it have some sort of plausible derivation, or did an editor just try desperately to wedge something meaning "second" into the already ugly word "billennium"? RSpeer 03:57, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
