Arguments

number

Whole number as numeric or integer, to be turned into text. Numbers 1-10 are always written out in full, regardless of their place in the sentence. Number 11-999 are written out in full if they are at the beginning of a sentence. Numbers greater than 1000 are returned as numerals.

Logical. If TRUE, numbers below 100 are written out in full, and their first letter is capitalised.

zero_or_no

Specify what to print when the number is 0. Defaults to "no". Can be any string.

uk_or_us
