eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty thirty forty fifty sixty seventy eighty ninety hundred thousand million billion These 21 additional words would allow numbers up to 999 billion if you construct your phrases like this: "one hundred thousand two hundred fourteen" or "twenty million four hundred twenty two thousand three hundred forty six" If you add the "th" suffix to the first nine, then you can include stuff like "one hundred thousand two hundred fourteenth" - Charles On 03 Jul 2014, at 5:46 PM, Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> wrote: > What would seem a reasonable upper limit to English-like spelled numbers? > > -- > Richard Gaskin > Fourth World > LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com > Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com > Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FourthWorldSys > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode -- Charles E.
