Words To Numbers

Convert words to numbers. Optionally fuzzy match the words to numbers.

``
npm install words-to-numbers
`

If the whole string passed is a number then it will return a Number type otherwise it will return the original string with all instances of numbers replaced.

TODO: Add functionality for parsing mixed numbers and words. PRs welcome.
