[Editor's Note: Remember that number names are locale-specific. Thus in the US 1,000,000,000 is
called a billion, while in other countries this might be different (ie. miljard in Dutch). This
function provides support only for the US locale]
If you want to convert a number, (int or float) to full spoken text, then you can use my num2text
converter, at http://bloople.net/num2text
Examples:
40000 => forty thousand
1,796,706 => one million, seven hundred and ninety-six thousand, seven hundred and six.
If works for positive an negative integers/floats/doubles. The code is only a page long, and you
don't have to install any modules or anything.
I hope this comes in handy for somebody!
