<p>Current English for 14 is fourteen but mathematically it is ten & four. Research on number sense, counting, arithmetic and the predictive value for later mathematical abilities tends to be methodologically invalid when it doesn't measure true number sense that can develop when the numbers are pronounced in mathematical proper fashion. Researchers can correct by including proper names in the research design, but this involves some choices, and when each research design adopts a different scheme, also differently across languages, then results become incomparable. A standard would be useful, both ISO for general principles and national implementations. Research may not have the time to wait for such (inter ) national consensus. This article suggests principles of design and implementations for said languages. This can support the awareness about the need for a process towards ISO and national consensus, and in the mean time provides a baseline for research.</p>
The update is to use "&" as the connective of the place value positions. Thus also for higher positions as e.g. 657 = six·hundred & five·ten & seven. See the developed software and http://thomascool.eu/Papers/NiceNumbers/Index.html
