For the purpose of styling data visualizations, I\'d like to be able to display an integer using words (e.g.
\"Two thousand and seventeen\"
Asides from the function I linked in the comments, here's another solution from a GitHub gist:

numbers2words(0)
[1] "zero"
numbers2words(5)
[1] "five"
numbers2words(50000)
[1] "fifty thousand"
numbers2words(50000000000000)
[1] "fifty trillion"
