Hello,

I know this isn't pure math functionality, but I have studied (and 
published articles) on large number names in English, and the various 
systems and options for naming these numbers.  There are a few number 2 
words Python modules on GitHub but tend to be lacking on the linguistic 
side.  I've also done limited work in similar projects for Spanish, French, 
German, and Italian.

I am fairly inexperienced in Python but learning quickly and loving every 
second of it.  I have been working on a number to words module as a 
personal project that names large numbers, decimals, fractions, etc 
correctly with grammatical, etymological, and other options.  Is this 
something that might be useful functionality in Sage?  Of course I will 
share more details when I am further along, but just wanted to get a bit of 
a litmus test if it is something that would add value to Sage.  I know it's 
a bit obscure but these names do seem to capture public imagination.

Mathematica has an integer to words function that is very sloppily 
implemented, very inaccurate and riddled with spelling errors, and very 
limited in functionality.  So it's not unprecedented to have this sort of 
function as part of a symbolic math software package.

Interested to hear your thoughts!

Thanks a lot
Rob
