The name of every number shares a letter with each of its neighboring numbers English number words include numerals and various words derived from them, as well as a large number of words borrowed from other languages. Since we were little, we’ve been taught how to count them, how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. What they probablyhaven’ttold you is this curious fact about numbers. In English, the name of every number shares a letter with each of its neighbors. One shares an O with two, which shares a T with three, which shares an R with four, which shares an F with five, which shares an I with six—and so on indefinitely.
