Description

Quote from Koremutake home page http://shorl.com/koremutake:

In an attempt to temporarily solve the fact that human beings seem to be inable to remember important things (such as their names, car keys and seemingly random numbers with fourteen digits in 'em), we invented Koremutake.

It is, in plain language, a way to express any large number as a sequence of syllables. The general idea is that word-sounding pieces of information are a lot easier to remember than a sequence of digits.
