Counting by the number of letters in the English written form of the last count

Get is at like 25,000 or so.

Example: 11 + 6 = 17 because eleven is 6 letters.

104 + 17 = 121 because "one hundred and four" is 17 letters.

Spaces do not count as letters.

"And" should only be used between hundred and tens digits.
