But if millisecond is one millionth of a second, how do they name one
thousandth of a second?

But... but... sarcasm is my whole way of life! It's the language of my
people... are they mad enough to swallow up an entire culture?
Aw, who am I kidding-- of course they are...

milisecond is thousandth of second (notice the single l).
a lion is 10^3, so million is 10^6, billion 10^9 (for MS/US)
a isecond is 1 Hz (for other), so 1 milisecond is just 10^3 Hz... works
fine. No problem. Just be loony.
1 bilisecond = 1 bil-isecond = 10^6 Hz... see! I want to claim a patent now!
