Bug #76732 for Lingua-EN-Inflect: NO: Numbers less than 101 to NUMWORDS

Subject:

NO: Numbers less than 101 to NUMWORDS

One of the grammar rules for English is that all numbers less than 101 should be written out when using a number as an adjective. Instead of having 2 cats, I would have two cats. Currently I use inflect("NUMWORDS($run_time) PL_N('year',$run_time)") to achieve that rule. It would be nice if there were an option in NO. Thank you in advance.

An excellent suggestion. I've added it to the to-do list! Damian

When you get around to cracking open NO, would you mind also adding the option for commas in numbers larger than 1,000? Thank you in advance. Lady Aleena

Damian, How is this coming along if you don't mind me asking? Lady Aleena

I don't mind at all. It was stuck in development hell, as I have been either preparing for or executing three separate round-the-world speaking tours since we last discussed it. :-( But your timing in pinging me on it was extraordinarily fortuitous. At 3am yesterday morning I finally finished prep on my next tour (which starts in a few days time). Hence I had a tiny window of opportunity, which I had decided to fill with coding of some kind. Normally that would be whatever was at the head of the ToDo queue, but your email pre-empted that, and I worked on Lingua::EN::Inflect instead. ;-) The resulting update, with both the 'words_below' and 'comma' options added to NO(), was just uploaded to CPAN and should propagate within the hour. All the best, Damian

Damian, A very belated thank you for getting this added to Lingua::EN::Inflect. The grammar nanny in me is happy now. :) Have a nice day! Lady Aleena PS. I changed the status to resolved.
