is there any "currency to words" routine for Delphi?

[Guest]

In hebrew, as maybe in russian, 11 is "1 and 10", 12 is "2 and 10". Germanic languages (and i include english, yes) have that; "Twelve" not "2-teen" or "2-ten". I do not have any etymological proof, but as you suggest @Fr0sT.Brutal, an old economy based on 12 and 20 is very likely behind these things. In "old" swedish at least; "dussin" = 12, "Tjog" = 20. Messy! Lucky us to have been born late enough.  Oh, and a british "draftsman" hired a desk across me for half a year and i was on about the metric system. She agreed; "The "1 and 1/18th inch" is old shit." she said.

 

Once more admins; a "Language" sub-forum. No?

At least those old numeric systems were activating the mental arithmetic in everyday life.

Sorry for bothering you.

These days I have been to use the function.

The first Google result was on delphipraxis.

I decided to add the post.

 

2 admin: pls delete my 2 posts if they are pointless

As always, our accounting dept needs in a new form of a customer's statement of account.
