Using "and" in numbers

Sorry, but using 'and' in numbers is not wrong at all-- it is used extensively in spoken English and when writing bank cheques.

You are both correct.

Using and saying (110) 'one hundred ten' is grammatically correct, and is the way the English langua

Hello Anon,

I'd be interested in hearing your source for saying it's incorrect to use "and" or where it says that we should read numbers that way.

how should i read the following No,1234567890

It doesn't appear to be a number that describes a quantity, so I'd say only "one two three four five six seven eight nine zero."

Hi,
110 - one hundred and ten (mainly British), one hundred ten (mainly American).

"and" is usually left out in American English when reading numbers.

"and" is usually left out in American English when reading numbers.

This is not my experience (or my habit) at all, Kooyeen. Where did you get this information?

I don't know where any of you are getting your information or how you all formed your habits.
All I can say is that I never use and in that context.

345 - three hundred forty-five
627 - six hundred twenty-seven
5763 - five thousand seven hundred sixty-three

(the year) 1975 - nineteen seventy-five

The only (semi-)exception is that on checks

And I might add the lyrics from South Pacific's 'Honey Bun':

My doll is as dainty as a sparrow,
Her figure is somethin' to applaud.
Where she's narrow she's as narrow an arrow,
And she's broad where a broad should be broad.

A hundred and one pounds of fun,
That's my little honey bun!
Get a load of honey bun tonight.

Well, that source trumps just about everything. I should have looked it up myself. I keep a very authoritative edition of Broadway Musical Comedy Lyrics right between Encyclopedia Britannica and the Oxford Unabridged on my book shelf.
