Factoid: Letter A Has a Number

Welcome readers of JBRish. We are trying something different and I hope you like it. I will ask a question below. Think about the answer and once you have thought about it, you can check it by clicking and dragging to select the spaces between the two rows of asterisks! I think you will be surprised.

Factoid: What number (numeral), starting from zero, would you have to write before it would use the letter ‘a’ (do not include the word ‘and’ in the number such as one hundred and one)?

***********************

one thousand
