It’s British. They are doing more to destroy the language than the Americans are, and, we’re doing a great job of it as it is.

I've seen astrophysicists use "hyper-" to describe the winds on the big gas planets that orbit a star in four days.

Not quite sure how they can tell the lack of global temperature difference (day/night sides) at the such distances, but they attribute it to hyper-winds spreading the star's heat planet-wide.
