>> e. After "million", "milliard" ("billion"), or
"trillion", there is a "de" before the trailing
words. Thus, 1,004,224,000 is "un milliard de
quatre millions de deux cents vingt-quatre mille".
I never heard anyone add the 'de' but then again not too many people I
know use these
numbers...
I personaly would say "un milliard quatre millions deux cents vingt-quatre
mille" without 'de'.
