@cannawen Cool, I'll start working on it later today!

[cannawen]

Hey @nicoferraro96, we have just added a CONTRIBUTING.md doc, please check it out when you have time! Sections "Etiquette", "Work on an issue" and "Make a PR" are most important

[cannawen]

If you wait for PR #44 to be merged in (some time within the next few days probably), there will be a nice "preprocess comment" method you can use! Yes, I think changing 20.2k to 20200 would make sense :)

Thanks for volunteering to pick up this task!

Similarly, it should be easy to add modifiers like thousand, m, b, mill, billion and so on. This could also be a good start to adding interpretation of word numbers fifty five and so on.

[cannawen]

That's a great idea! Maybe once the we get the "preprocess" code in, we could create some separate stories to add those modifiers and word-numbers as well :)

[cannawen]

@nalinbhardwaj The preprocess change was just merged in FYI, so the infrastructure should be there for you to start working on this issue

[nalinbhardwaj]

@cannawen did you mean to mention @nicoferraro96 ? Isn't this already assigned to him?

[cannawen]

MY BAD, yes, sorry!!
