I promised that post would be wrong! The first three digits have no word following them. If you can convert 123 into "One hundred twenty three" then converting 123,000 into "One hundred twenty three thousand" should be a piece of cake.
Rather than work things out from the length of the string (number of digits) you could just start with the largest word & power of 10 you plan to support, say "billion" and "1,000,000,000".
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
