"You decoded the numbers the computer said would take away your magic! Those were the numbers in the "code message" I gave you! R is the 18th letter of the alphabet, O is the 15th, H the 8th...When you read those digits [18-15-8-20-21-12 24-5-12], you said your name backwards...in numbers [R-O-H-T-U-L X-E-L]!"
— Superboy to Lex Luthor, Superboy (1949) #131
You should never
Write words using numbers
Unless you're seven
Or your name is Prince!
