Korean Numbers and Numbering

Disclaimer: The spellings provided are the best approximation I could come up with based on what I hear. If you are fluent in Korean and think that these words are misrepresented by the way I have spelled them, feel free to write me and let me know of a better spelling! Also, bear in mind that the oriental "L" and "R" tend to be easily confused with each other for American ears.
