Romanian number correction about number-to-words HOT 6 CLOSED

Nobody is using 'patrusprezece' although indeed a correct form also.
The correct form is still 'paisprezece' and commonly adopted and used.
"Paisprezece" is formal , don't mistake it for the form "paispe".

By the same logic for the number 16 :
'saisprezece' is correct and not "sasesprezece"

from number-to-words.

We are using this library for generating receipts where the final number has to be written by letters too. According to our accountant the patrusprezece is the accepted and used version on receipts.

You are indeed right, in everyday language the "paisprezece" and "paispe" are commonly used.
In the case of 16 the saisprezece is used.

We would appreciate if you could change it.

I'm not the owner of this repo , @kwn is.

If you need to use "patrusprezece" i would suggest just creating your own class extending original Romanian/Dictionary.php and change the form in order to use that one.

I suggest that you ask for another opinion since i know that "patrusprezce" is the archaic form and "paisprezece" is the literal form , but i could be wrong.

Either way feel free to make a pull request and @kwn will decide to merge it or not.

Hi @kassayAkos and @ethmelly. Thank you for raising an issue. I just spoke with my Romanian friend and he said that we should be using paisprezece (so as it is right now) - similarly to the number 16. He also showed me this article:

I don't know Romanian, so I'm going to follow the recommendation of my trusted friend. I'm going to close the issue.

@kwn Thank you for taking the time to took into it. In the end we went with paisprezece, and till our users won't complain about it we wont change it.

Thanks again, and keep up the good work!
