To be sure, most people here would actually say "one hundred and fifty," just like they'd say "a whole 'nother issue" rather than "another whole issue." But formal writing and speech are different.

We also write it with the 'and'. That's just how numbers work in Brit:P

Actually we'd probably say 'a hundred and fifty' rather than one hundred and fifty.

Dang, I was sure the proper way to say 2010 is two thousand ten. :D Didn't know there was more than one way. :eyebrow:

Since I work with legal documents, we often write out dollar amounts; we always use "and," to signify the decimal

I got tired of writing hundred and thousand so I've been writing my checks;

Three Two Three 00/100, to use your example. They always get cashed. :cool:

Oh, and the year in 10, just 10.

Yeah, we better check that it's not a regional thing, this willy nilly check cashing. I betcha a bank in Ohio wouldn't cash it. You have my home mail, right? ;)

I would not cash a check if someone wrote it that way. Not even for Bruce.:)

Probably the same teller for the last thirty years.huh?

20-10. Just like it's spelled.

(hey, didn't anybody tell you that you don't say "and" after the thousands part?)

Good to be through twenty-ought-nine, though.

Hard to believe that only ten years ago we were hoarding food and ammo in the basement waiting for the end of the world, isn't it?
