[Platt] A "subset?" Now you're stretching. Here's a number not a word 101111011101111011111000011111001111011101110111110111000011110111101111011100001101010101010000000001111000111111111010101011111111101111011111011010110
[Arlo] Maybe not "one word" like the socially constructed "billion" or "trillion", but that's just "one zero one one one one one zero..." (all words!) And I bet if we asked a mathematician, someone out there probably did give place-names to all the decimal locations this far out. Something like "a googzillion". Nonetheless, to do anything meaningful with it requires words, whether you say "one zero one one one... " plus "one one one zero..." or socially negotiate a fancy group designator like "googzillion". So try again... number but not a word. (By the way, there is no single "word" for "123" either... "one hundred and twenty three", but that's just social convention to stop our single-names at twenty.)
