I’m Romanian and I recently came across the definition of bangmaid which fits me perfectly, so that’s how my username came to be.

    How do we know there isn’t a number that was named by a mathematician like googol or Graham’s number, where unlike defining it as a 1 with a hundred zeros after it, it’s instead defined by it’s spelling?

    Here’s one: the number seven thousand three hundred and seven is otherwise known as Da…ve’s number, which is spelt with a D and then seven thousand three hundred and three A’s, followed by ve’s. It’s a made up name for a number but so is googol so I think it should be a valid candidate.
