Simple... Just like I said in the too short write up... I prefer the word "Tally" to "Number" 😀
The only problem is, there already is something called a "tally table" that is completely different, but similar enough to be confusing: a tally table is a programming (or procedural) construct used to accumulate aggregate statistics, for instance for a "Select grp, count(*) From Foo Group By grp" type statement.
It's a cool name, but I strongly prefer clear distinction in my nomenclature.
