COMMENTS
In writing out the names for these numbers, "and" is not used in U.S. English; e.g., 101 is rendered as "one hundred one" rather than "one hundred and one". - Robert Israel, Jun 12 2019
The British English version is too similar to this to have its own entry. They first differ at n=101, where here a(101) = 142, whereas in British English 101 is "one hundred and one", which is 161. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 09 2021
From Robert Israel's data it appears that the U.S. version has no fixed points, and the British version has exactly two fixed points, at 251 and 259. I do not know if either version has cycles of length >= 2 apart from the cycles of length 5 that are visible in A345126 and A345157. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 11 2021
