Hiya Judging by the lack of replies, I think it's safe to say that the Lords Of Midnight is about 900% more popular than Doomdark's Revenge ;) ... Yeah :( The...

What is the correct terminology here? DDR uses hundreds and score. (Score being 20) So 1576 becomes "fifteen hundred three score and sixteen" 40 becomes "two...
