Printed 2013/12/18 08:19AM  Silly Billiseconds  By Phil Factor,
2011/01/13  You have to admire Microsoft for sticking to their
guns, even when being palpably stupid. I refer, of course to the
SqlDateTime structure constructor in .NET 2 through to 4. See
here  public SqlDateTime( int year, int month, int day, int
hour, int minute, int second, int bilisecond  See also the
SqlDateTime Structure where it is spelt ‘billiseconds’.  Yes,
you read that right: Bilisecond. This is odd since the structure
only has an accuracy of 3.33 milliseconds. Since 2006, this has
been a joke amongst .NET developers, and caused some
bewilderment to Mono. There is, of course, no such thing as a
bilisecond, however much the Microsoft people want to change the
English Language. It isn’t a billionth of a second. An American
billionth of a second is called a nanosecond (10-9), and a
british billionth of a second is a picoseconds which is 10-12 of
a second. (an american trillionth), and there is a microsecond
which is equal to one million
