It could be worse. Satoshi, for example, would say something like:
There are now 63000 files and directories in the repository.
That's 2**3 * 3**2 * 5**3 * 7. If we concatenate the exponents,
we get 3231, which is 3**2 * 359. Repeating, we get 21, which
is 3 * 7. One more repetition and we get 11, which is itself a
prime, as is 37. Isn't that amazing?
