Did you know: No number before 1,000 contains the letter A.
Just a quick one. It's Monday :/
when written out in words, no number below 1000 contains the letter "a", as the letter "a" only appears in "one thousand" when writing 1000.
Explanation:
When counting from 1 to 999, none of the number names include the letter "a".
The first time "a" appears is when writing "one thousand" (1000).
Key point: This is because we are talking about the written-out words for numbers, not the numerical digits themselves.
Uh, well. Thank you for that last key point. Although, numerical digits wouldn't have letters anyway. Unless I'm missing something. 😉
