Below is a list of discrepancies in the names of powers of ten, where the first word is from Mathematica and second is from num2words. Mathematica names are more in line with those in the table of names at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers#Standard_dictionary_numbers

Thanks must go to Hans Havermann for first noticing these differences.
