That Special Number

The number 4 is used in a lot of situations:

1. Four quarters in a football or basketball game
2. Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
3. Texting
4. Golf... no, no that's a different one.

But did you know that it's the only number that when spelled has the same number of letters as itself?

4 = F O U R

(4 letters!)

Neat, huh?
