Stringimal

The combination of a string and decimal, most commonly referred to in the context of programming, although the stringimal is not recognized as an actual variable type used by any programming language at this time. The string portion of the stringimal is usually composed of alphabetic characters, although numeric characters are technically allowed, and the decimal portion consists of only numeric characters.

Stringimal versions of decimals:

3.5 = Three.5
7.2 = 7.Two
22.9 = Twenty Two.9
9.13 = 9.Thirteen
