NUMBER FYI
Spanish numbers don't use commas. Instead, they use dots. 1.000.000 = 1 million
Ordinal numbers will abbreviate to have the last two letters of the word in superscript 1ro, 2do, 3ro, 4to, etc
Numbers ending in 1 (1, 21, 31, 41, 101, etc) will shorten to un /una in front of masculine/feminine nouns (Ella tiene veintiuna amigas.)
If you say "more than" in front of a number, use "DE" to mean "than" (Yo tengo más de cien canicas.)
Ordinal numbers will not change their endings if they act as adverbs (Ella va primero.) But, if they are adjectives, they will. (Ella es la primera mujer que tiene la presidencia.)
"Cardinal" numbers are just numbers (one, two, three)
"Ordinal" numbers show order (first, second, third, etc)
