Letters and numbers

I've never been that much into numbers.
My preferences have always been with letters – words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, texts, articles, chapters, papers, essays, books… But the truth being no one can nowadays overlook figures, some statistical facts may turn one's head upside down.
