How Do I Spell 5785?

Let's begin.

5785 is spelled as:

F... I... V... E... space... S... E... V... E... N... space... E... I... G... H... T... space.... F... I... V... E...

That is the most accurate spelling of 5785 in English.

Right then. We shall march onward to the next section 🎺

🏰 Noble Digit

The Noble Digit is an application I built that translates any real number into properly formatted words, ready to be spoken, written, sung, or shouted from castle balconies.

It accommodates:

Positive numbers ✅
Negative numbers ✅
Decimal numbers ✅

And formats them in British, US Informal, US Formal (fractional), and...
🍻 Drunk Bard – because of course it does.

Whether you're dealing with:

19872900 ➡️ nineteen million, eight hundred and seventy-two thousand, nine hundred
Or something absurd like -0.003 in US Formal ➡️ negative zero and three thousandths

It handles it with grammatical grace, optional hyphens, and the proper and where it should be.

📷 Snapshots

19872900 in British style.

-0.003 in US Formal style.

100 in 🍻 Drunk Bard mode.

🫡 Go On

So go ahead. Spell your number 🪄 Say it aloud. Confuse your enemies. Impress your accountants.

So go on 🎵 go on 🎶

Come on, leave me breakfast 🧇🥯🍳

5785?

Oh, right! 5785 is:

Five thousand, seven hundred and eighty-five in Brit style.
Five thousand, seven hundred eighty-five in US style.

Besides "spell", we might be also interested in:

Say
Pronounce
Verbalise 🎭 (or verbalize)

As in:

How do I say 5785?
How do I pronounce 5785?
How doth one verbalise 5785? (Dramatic flair of a legal statement scroll-reading wizard) 🎭 🧙‍♂️

Spelled-out number is indeed an accepted idiom, as in verbalised number in prose form or writing a number using its word form rather than its numerical symbol.

But, for instance, spell out the number, in a quick dialogue.

Nigel	:	Hm, we need to spell out the number to fill this document for the Finance Department.
Merlinplus	:	Of course! (Draws a wand 🧙‍♂️🪄) Stand back, lad...
Nigel	:	Wait! No. I mean...
Merlinplus	:	Pentilicus viginti unus spiritus! 🪄💥
(Agitated ancient Roman accountants appear)
Nigel	:	Blimey! What in the name of Microsoft Word are those?! 👀 I meant like... F-O-U-R!
Merlinplus	:	Oh... 🧙‍♂️ Well, why didn't you say so? Hope you're good at Latin, mate.

In another story, how do we actually say "How do I say 105672?"?

Thus, the lunacy continues.

🙂

🪄 Pentilicus Viginti Unus Spiritus!

Right, you might think it was an actual Latin, which is true.

Viginti unus means twenty-one.

Spiritus means spirit.

Pentilicus means utter gibberish related to five.

Therefore, it can be translated as:

Twenty-one spirits of Pentilican accounting!

And then, if we further break down "Pentilican" part:

Twenty-one spirits of five-cornered sacred gibberish place accounting!

... is indeed very Merlinplus in tone.

But that with the grammatically makes sense assumption. This is the per-word basis:

Five-related nonsense twenty-one spirits!

The Girl Who Replied to the Prince of Nigeria

Once there was a girl named Elsie, who received a curious letter — not by post, but through the shimmering scroll of her inbox . It was from a prince , exiled and alone, trapped with seventeen million dollars and no one to trust. Moved by noble compassion (and mild curiosity), Elsie replied with her full name, bank details, and a JPEG of her cat 🐈 He seemed so polite , she later said. He even used full sentences — none of that lol nonsense. But alas! The moment she clicked Send , her screen flickered. Her icons rearranged themselves. Her fonts turned to Comic Sans. And deep within the motherboard, a voice whispered, Your inheritance is processing... — like waiting for a completion with a progress bar stuck at 98% endlessly.

Do Monkeys and Apes Eat Bananas in the Wild?

No. It's Hollywood's generalisation 🤷‍♂️ Like us, monkeys and apes are omnivores. Now why is an omnivore only interested in one type of fruit... banana 🍌? 🤔 Why indeed... But if offered one, certainly, don't mind if I do! Banana is not naturally their diet in the wild because: Banana plantations are human territories. Wild banana plants clusters are not monkeys' or apes' main habitats — and the wild banana fruits are not tasty like the human-designed monocultures. Hence, humans designed the monocultures to produce the tasty banana fruits. This should loop back to point 1. The monocot plant itself is not even something they would climb and settle , as in sit or come to rest in a comfortable position . Imagine... 🐒 What's this? A bit of vertical challenge, eh? (Proceeds to climb a banana plant in under one second) 🐒 Ah, quite marvelous here. Nature's cushion at its finest. The view... It's all obstructed. Mm, spl...

Therefore, this post 🙂 Here is a list of prime numbers from 1 to 1,000. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199, 211, 223, 227, 229, 233, 239, 241, 251, 257, 263, 269, 271, 277, 281, 283, 293, 307, 311, 313, 317, 331, 337, 347, 349, 353, 359, 367, 373, 379, 383, 389, 397, 401, 409, 419, 421, 431, 433, 439, 443, 449, 457, 461, 463, 467, 479, 487, 49...

Treasure Hunting in Movies vs. Real Life

🎥 Movies We found an ancient treasure! We're rich! ❗Reality How do we even convert this to currency? 😕 Right? Before we continue, did you notice the fingers, eyes, and reality glitch on certain fellows on the image above? That is some treasure hunting misfortunes ☠️ We know the trope emphasizes on adventures, dramas, and actions. But somewhere deep down, we also had those questions 🤔 Like, how does that go exactly? Question. The rich part. This is the trope where the adventurers roamed so bravely without obvious funding and sponsor and confidently presumed they'd be instantly rich just by locating the treasure from the information on a brittle goo-smudged paper — is it up or down or sideways? — ancient map. I was baffled because films always rolled the credits before ever explaining the treasure conversion process, which, let's be honest, probably doesn't exist. The formula: Drama build-up ➡️ Adventure and action ➡️ Found treasure ➡️ Celebrat...

Auxiliary Battering Rams

I forgot the term for does , do , have , will , etc. — besides to be (am, is, are, ...) — when it is formed as a proper question . Hence I asked both ChatGPT and Gemini 👍 It is known as auxiliary verb inversion . As it involves swapping the auxiliary verb from its usual position in the sentence. Affirmative declarative to proper question examples: You eat ➡️ Do you eat? I have showered ➡️ Have I showered? That horse will neigh ➡️ Will that horse neigh? When it is used in proper question, the do , have , and will function as auxiliary verbs in inversion . It falls under the broader category of subject-auxiliary inversion . There's no clear term for that final swapped auxiliary verb. Only the method (or process), auxiliary verb inversion . So, I call it inverted auxiliary verb 😂 Which sounds like DOES becomes SEOD . Nay-nay form (negative declarative) to improper question: She does not like to smile ➡️ Seod she ...

Python: How to Split String with Empty Separator

First of all, this is on Python 2.7x. For instance, we have this string: a = "This string" If we use split with an empty string "" or '' , it will return error . b = a.split("") ValueError Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line ..., in <module> ValueError: empty separator In JavaScript , we can directly use empty separator. Like so: a.split(""); // OUTPUT ["T", "h", "i", "s", " ", "s", "t", "r", "i", "n", "g"] That cannot be done in Python. Below is some of the methods in Python. Use list() Function b = list(a) print b ["T", "h", "i", "s", " ", "s", "t", "r", "i", "n", "g"] ➡️ list() documentation Use map() Function c = map(None, a) print c [...

Math: Finding GCF and LCM Using Continuous Division (Translated to JavaScript)

Hi! In this, I'll show a method other than factorisation and clustering the factors to find GCF (Greatest Common Factor) and LCM (Least Common Multiple). I assume you're familiar with the first method. That is using tree factors and then grouping the results. I was taught to do this method in elementary school. The method has already been translated to an application on Port Raptor: GCFLCM.C . Let's start to implement the continuous division method. For example, we want to find GCF and LCM from: 8, 16, 18 Method: Create a table and write down those numbers as first row. Give some space for vertical column on the leftmost. The leftmost column will be used to list the divisor. The cells between the first row and first column are the division results (quotients). The division goes diagonally. Start with the division with 1, well... Then, divide starting from the lowest prime number → 2. If an element (or elements) can't be divided with current prime divi...
