It leads me to believe that either I am misunderstanding the documentation, I am using the library wrongly, or something is wrong with how humanize handles a Googol.\r\nIf humanize is not supposed to parse a googol to the string “1 googol”, the docs should be updated to reflect that. Currently, they state:\r\n\u003e Supports up to decillion (33 digits) and googol (100 digits).\r\nWhich I understood meaning “Can parse and display a googol”.\r\n\r\nMy apologies if the problem turns out to be me misunderstanding/-using.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/MajorTanya","@type":"Person","name":"MajorTanya"},"datePublished":"2023-07-26T03:10:49.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/134/humanize/issues/134"}
