Amusing English # 26 - Truth about Letters

Did you appreciate the truth about letters?


Letters 'a', 'b', 'c' and 'd' do not appear if you spell any of the numbers between 1 and 99
[Funnily enough, letter 'd' comes for the first time in Hundred] 

In addition, letters 'a', 'b' and 'c' do not appear anywhere in the spellings of 1 to 999
[Strange, but true, letter 'a' comes for the first time in Thousand]

Neither letter 'b' nor 'c' appear anywhere in the spellings of 1 to 999,999,999
[Letter 'b' comes for the first time in Billion]

Letter 'c' does not appear anywhere in the spellings of entire English counting.

Cheers!
