Inspired by this post

and a burning curiosity. At leats, I hope the burning was curiosity.

By default billion is 10**12 because, dammit, that's right.

If you want it to be an American billion then do

    use Acme::Numbers billion => 10**9;

Setting this automatically changes all the larger numbers (trillion, quadrillion, etc) to match.

You should never really use these methods on the class directly.

All numbers handled by Lingua::EN::Words2Nums are handled by this module.

In addition ...

operator can be 'num', 'and' or 'point'

The name of this object (i.e the method that was originally called).

The current numeric value

Handle putting these two objects together

Concatenate two things.
