[DanaC]

That only works with money though. because we're not separating it as units, so much as coin types. Pounds and pence. If it was anything else we'd say 'point' not 'and'. So, to say 3.23 meg, we'd say three point two three.

Only in money do we separate with an 'and' to distinguish between the pounds and the pence (or at an earlier stage in our currency the shillings and the pence).

In Brit we'd say one hundred and fifty, not one hundred fifty.


[eta] meant when we write money not when we say it.
