en_US ordinal invalid verbalization #147

Open JDongian opened 6 years ago

JDongian commented 6 years ago

Expected Behaviour

101st should be converted to hundred-and-first https://www.thefreedictionary.com/hundred-and-first (forms such as one hundred and first do not exist, although they may appear in text corpora)

Actual Behaviour

There is an extra one verbalized.

Steps to reproduce

from num2words import num2words
num2words(101, ordinal=True) == 'one hundred and first'
