 * There is an entry on MathWorld for septendecillion here. The word is further used here. Here, it is remarked that the number +10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ‘has 55 zeros - one zero higher than Septendecillion’. Here, it is explained that One Septendecillion Years From Now [...] The total mass of the universe [will be] somewhere between 200 and 500 septendecillion grams). Here, it is explained that there are ‘roughly 43 septendecillion [...] possible voting permutations if 3,000 students vote (Single Transferable Voting is pretty complicated!)’.

 * Refining the above examples to make a firm distinction between use and mention, this is unequivocally an example of ‘use’, not merely a ‘mention’ : there are ‘roughly 43 septendecillion [...] possible voting permutations if 3,000 students vote (Single Transferable Voting is pretty complicated!)’.
 * This is also use, specifically the statement that sometime in the distant future the ‘total mass of the universe [will be] somewhere between 200 and 500 septendecillion grams’.
 * This mathematical discussion of the ‘Google problem’ also uses the word in explaining the and outlining the task of converting numerals to words.

 * This is also interesting : ‘But, if you ask me, Gideon Polya personally murdered 97 septendecillion helpless creatures (including baby dolphins). This is the cost [...]’.
