    Grin Cz: "Peegee" is a valid number

    well he didn't say it verbatim but he'll concede that he invented the notion and agrees with my claim.

    Here goes.

    A number is loosely defined as a permutation of any amount of digits from the set [0-9]. It can also be associated with an english word, so that when you see the english word 'Three' you know it means '3'.

    An english word for any number is defined as a permutation of any amount of characters from the set [a-z]. We could specify something like how a vowel must exist in the word, and since english words technically don't have a maximum length, it would just be another infinite set.

    Now, we have two infinite sets. Like two lines with infinite dots, one can draw a 1:1 association between each number and each word. You'd run out of 'numbery' sounding words eventually, and will have to start using other permutations of the english alphabet. Eventually you'll run out of unique words, and have to 're-use' words, like the word 'word', or the word 'peegee', or 'seazy', etc.

    Ergo, Rye, ryechu, pikachu, peegee, microphone, and camera are all numbers.

    Thanks to Cz for hurting my head. >: (
