Billenium or Billennium?[edit]

I don’t know this book at all, but the original title seems to be Billenium with one n, not Billennium.

If so, the title of this article should be updated too. Gyopi (talk) 03:55, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It all depends on whether the title is alluding to chemical elements (which often end with "enium") or time epochs (such as the millennium). http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/262361.Billenium also spells it with a single N (rhyming with the chemical elements series) so I guess that's the way the author intended it -- likely trying to conjur up the idea of a large block of solid matter, made up of tiny individual "billenium" atoms, each confined to their tiny space allocation, unable to move or expand beyond that (much like the situation described in the story). So I agree the article should be moved to the correct spelling.03:31, 17 September 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.111.38.35 (talk)
