I just tried to implement this myself but I only have very rudimentary C++ knowledge and no experience with java script. I much prefer the long scale system for large numbers since you can just take the latin name and easily convert to scientific notation.
(Sept=7 -> Septillion = (10^6)^7 = 10^42)
I added this to ../../Data/Scales
and tried adding the option to Beautify.js but that only covers the Prefixes. The -illion string is apparently added someplace else and the long scale requires every other power of 1000 to end in -illiard instead of -illion

Any help would be appreciated
