Simply go ask a high-school English teacher. There is _no_ "zillion". Yet it has been used in posts here many times. Why do you want to take issue with a slang word that has an obvious meaning? And yet you want to claim that _I_ provoke _you_??? In chess, I would say that 20 * 100 is a _huge_ number of games. When you yourself post results after 20-30-50 games. So yes... 'zillions' is a reasonable number when you know how to take it...
