Gematria
My latest discovery is Gematria which is a form of numerology in which the letters of the Hebrew alphabet are substituted with corresponding numbers. The first ten letters are given number values that increase consecutively from 1 to 10. The next eight letters are given number values that increase by a factor of ten from 20 to 90.
When using this system, it is believed by some that you can glean new, underlying meanings from words... and there can be many meanings. Using the Gematria calculator and typing in the words "I Love You", you get the following top meanings:
How much is I love you in Gematria ?
Word | Jewish | English | Simple | Searches |

holy holy holy | 1434 | 1080 | 180 | 2635 |
You can see how some meanings are a little weird! Or maybe that was part of Apple's marketing plan to begin with!
