Every natural number can be described in 14 words or less.

Proof: Assume the contrary.

There exists a smallest number n which cannot be described in 14 words or less.

So n is "the smallest natural number which cannot be unambiguously described in fourteen words or less."

The above is a complete and unambiguous description of n.

This is a contradiction.

Therefore every natural number can be unambiguously described in 14 words or less.
