COMMENTS
Number of straight line segments (chisel strokes) in the capitalized English name of n (excluding spaces and hyphens), counting smooth curves as zero strokes.
The 15 letters which are entirely strokes (no curves): A(3), E(4), F(3), H(3), I(1), K(3), L(2), M(4), N(3), T(2), V(2), W(4), X(2), Y(3), Z(3).
Those 4 which are entirely curves (and count as zero): C, O, S, U.
Those 7 which mix strokes and curves: B(1), D(1), G(2), J(1), P(1), Q(1), R(2).
a(16)=16 is a fixed point.
The numbers written entirely from stroke-only letters are A163670.

EXAMPLE
a(0) = 9 because ZERO has (letter by letter) 3+4+2+0 = 9 straight line segments (chisel strokes).
a(1) = 7 because ONE has 0+3+4 = 7 strokes.
a(20) = 18 because TWENTY (all strokes) has 2+4+4+3+2+3 = 18 strokes.
