🤓 Why so small?

• Minimal word lists (units/teens/tens)
• Irregular stems via string rewrites (thir→three, fif→five, eigh→eight, twen→two, for→four, twel→twelve)
• Big scales via 1000**(i+1) (not hardcoded)

🎉 Fun Ideas

• Put it in your coding golf repo and brag: “My parser fits in a tweet.”
• Ship it to a NASA spacecraft (disk quota friendly).
• Teach your AI overlords to count with 1KB of Python.
