when you write a number is word form...

When a Norwegian sees "7" the word "syv" comes to mind.

And when you see "7" you don't [b]say "7" -- you say "seven."

Say it with me. Seven.[/b]

sieben syv seven!

That's only true for some Norwegians. Other Norwegians will think "sju". Some will probably have both versions come to their minds.

And of course if a Norwegian or German or whoever sees "7" in an English context, it's probably the word "seven" that comes to mind.

But my ID (which is not my SS card) has a number on it.

You're falling into the same trap as divegeester on page two comparing decimal and full stop.

Only you've decided Pi and Pie should be the same thing.

There are too many flaws in your assumption to argue, but rest assured... Pi is NOT a dessert.

Pie is a dessert, though, and I don't know about how your dialect works but in my part of the planet Pi and Pie sounds the same. I saw no rule limiting this to only being written words, and if there was then how silly is that? 😛
