Numbers get the short end

You know, numbers and letters are very similar in that they are the building blocks for some of humanities fundamental concepts: mathematics and language. But numbers get the short end of that stick because the name of each number is a word. and to make words you must have letters. Which sort of suggests to me that letters are more important than numbers, because ifyou cant name the numbers then you dont have numbers. You have unknown quantities.

So I think it might be a good idea that the symbolic form of numbers ("9" for example) shall not only be the name of the number (instead of "nine") and be pronounced via a sound not currently represented by the letters of the alphabet. I have no idea right now what that might sound like but this is a work in progress anyway.

If this all comes to pass, you might wonder if somebody wont start complaining that numbers are more important than letters. That is why I propose this as only a temporary situation, to be undone after 100 years.

I'm just trying to get some ideas out there. Let me know what your solution is, and it just might be featured in your next local crimestoppers segment.
