   I'm learning chinese. If a number is used as a counter a number has   
   to be followed by a measure word. If a number is used as an ordinal   
   is has to be preceded by 'di'. It makes things easier to understand.   
   In my example of prime determination determination all huge numbers   
   are h1 h2 h3333 to tell them apart from 1 2 3333.   
   Not too awkward.

   I don't think it is too bad. And replacing 'S% ' by the prefix 1 2 3 4 ..   
   is essentially the idea of a PREFIX.

   The Chinese government is satisfied with its military superiority over USA.   
   The next 5 year plan has as primary goal to advance life expectancy   
   over 80 years, like Western Europe.
