poor mathematics, great

does this regex mean that it matches any character? And when it finds a match it ignores all other matches in the string?

I tried running it in RegExr, and I got confused why it ignored "The" at the beginning of the string but matched 'the' elsewhere.

Wasn't an issue, I was passing a string parameter for replace.

I seem to have the same issue overhere, works totally fine in console, but doesnt pass on codewars, same number, also "twenty six thousand three hundred fifty-nine"
