ITS A FACT..................
The first 4 alphabets of the English alphabet, namely 'a', ' b', 'c' &
'd', which are quite commonly used, do not appear anywhere in the
spelling of any of the numbers from "One" to "Ninety Nine"! The
alphabet 'd' appears for the first time in the spelling of the number
"Hundred".
The alphabets 'a', ' b' & 'c' do not appear anywhere in the spelling
of any of the numbers from "One" to "Nine Hundred Ninety Nine"! The
alphabet 'a' appears for the first time in the spelling of the number
"Thousand".
The alphabets ' b' & 'c' do not appear anywhere in the spelling of any
of the numbers from 1 to 999,999,999! The alphabet 'b' appears for the
first time in the spelling of the number "Billion".
And finally, the alphabet 'c' does not appear in the spelling of any number!
