Comments

See A231075 for the American English version. The sequences coincide up to a(8)=97 but are then completely different, due to the additional "and" (e.g. in "one hundred and nine") in the British style. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 03 2013

Examples

			e.g. 2003 -> "TWOTHOUSANDANDTHREE" -> 19 letters and 19 is prime. Note that the "and" naming convention is used; e.g. "ONE HUNDRED AND ONE", "ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE".
