" @BeachThunder said:According to those online dictionaries it is pretty clear that 4 is a symbol representing the word four, which means that 4 is not a word but a symbol." @HaltIamReptar said:Wikipedia and internet dictionaries that refer to "four" but not "4". You got me? "" @GetEveryone said:HerpaDerpDerpDerpDerp. "" @Landon said:4 is most certainly not in any dictionary I know of, but four is. 4 is a symbol representing a number and four is a word. I thought I was being pretty clear. "10 to the power 10 to the power 10 to the power 10 isn't a word, even if we were to read it aloud: it is a description. Something as large as, eg. 1 googolplex and 50 can be described, but it is a series of words comprising a description. Four is still a word. I hope my reasoning is clear and substantial. Edit: If it isn't clear, the court still rules in Landon's favour. "" @HaltIamReptar said:
If you can't write it down, then it's not a word. If you can't call it something, it's not a word. I thought this was something we learn as children. 4 is the word we use to say how many of something there are. Otherwise we would have to hold up our fingers to each other. "" @GetEveryone said:
So, numbers that are so large that a phonetic description is not attached are most definitely not words, then? "" @Landon said:

" @Landon said:If you can speak 4, then it is a word. "" @Management said:4 is a number. ""This is 6 words. "

Also, my 5 word review got a lot more attention than I thought it would.
