English reads large numbers in three-digit groups. 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,004 reaches the septillion group, so the group twenty is followed by the scale name septillion.
Scale names stay singular inside exact number names. English writes twenty septillion without adding a plural s to the scale name.
When a three-digit group is 000, English skips that group in the word form. This keeps twenty septillion four shorter and easier to read.
