OEIS A000052: Alphabetical ordering of numbers by their English names

We dive into A000052, the OEIS sequence that sorts integers not by value but by the alphabetical order of their English names, using US spelling conventions. We'll explore how single digits and larger numbers are ordered, with clear examples like 18 vs 80 and 101,001 vs 726,726, and discuss the impact of naming conventions on the ordering. The episode also covers how to generate the sequence in Maple, Mathematica, and Python, and reflects on what this linguistic twist reveals about the relationship between language and math.
