How does changing the clue to "mosque leader" help? Shi'a Muslims go to mosques, don't they? I think ayatollah should be accepted.

I think you're confused. The leader of a Shia mosque is usually called a mullah. Ayatollahs are high-ranking officials or scholars.

I thought the leader of a mosque is the Imam. Surely a mullah is just a learned man and/or teacher, not necessarily assigned to a mosque.

It's just a pronunciation issue, much like how Americans don't pronounce the H in Herb or the C in Arctic

And the spelling of Aluminium with a second "i" is internationally agreed convention

Spellings evolve or stay the same depending on where you are

Sometimes that happens naturally.

Sometimes they're championed by individuals -- like Ben Franklin who, among many other things, was a printer or Noah Webster who was a lexicographer -- as part of an effort to standardize spelling.

There's really no correct way to spell a word. It's just convention. It's probably a good idea to follow convention in academics, sciences, the business world, etc. Looking for logic in language is a fool's errand. Maybe one day spelling will be standardized like the Metric system, but I doubt it.

Long notation is the official standard in Britain, however most use short notation. The clue should clarify short or add the long as another question.

It's less common owing to the BBC making a decision to go over to the American meaning of "billion". However, many Brits still use Billion in it's original sense of a million squared. So jetpunk should accept billion as a correct answer to the question just as they should accept the British spelling of distil - or open themselves to the charge of being US-centric again.

they could very well swell this collection, but sorrowfully the full tally of allowable _ will not follow the small lull we'll be allotted to stall in our before the toll instills hell, despite it really meant to alleviate the hollowness filling us individually.

Yes I will spill that i wasted my own time and yes I was compelled to use a thesaurus. However, the thrill nullifies the dull wallowing of mademoiselle Willuna the illogical.

A billion is a thousand million.

In the United Kingdom, a billion used to be a million million, but this was changed in 1974.
