-# Description
-
-Given a number from 0 to 999,999,999,999, spell out that number in English.
-
-## Step 1
-
-Handle the basic case of 0 through 99.
-
-If the input to the program is `22`, then the output should be `'twenty-two'`.
-
-Your program should complain loudly if given a number outside the blessed range.
-
-Some good test cases for this program are:
-
-- 0
-- 14
-- 50
-- 98
-- -1
-- 100
-
-### Extension
-
-If you're on a Mac, shell out to Mac OS X's `say` program to talk out loud.
-If you're on Linux or Windows, eSpeakNG may be available with the command `espeak`.
-
-## Step 2
-
-Implement breaking a number up into chunks of thousands.
-
-So `1234567890` should yield a list like 1, 234, 567, and 890, while the far simpler `1000` should yield just 1 and 0.
-
-## Step 3
-
-Now handle inserting the appropriate scale word between those chunks.
-
-So `1234567890` should yield `'1 billion 234 million 567 thousand 890'`
-
-The program must also report any values that are out of range.
-It's fine to stop at "trillion".
-
-## Step 4
-
-Put it all together to get nothing but plain English.
-
-`12345` should give `twelve thousand three hundred forty-five`.
-
-The program must also report any values that are out of range.
