    A few hints: verbalize numbers < 20 literally and keep a list of 'tens', i.e. "twenty", "thirty", "fourty" etc. Also keep a list of magnitudes, i.e. "hundred", "thousand", "million" and "billion". Pay special attention to the number zero.

    kind regards,

    Jos

    Cute; my old professor frequently started his talks with "for any arbitrarily large number, say 3, ..."
