About Number Spelling
Converting numbers to words is often required in legal and financial documents to prevent ambiguity or tampering.
Check Writing
When writing checks, standard practice requires writing the numerical amount both in digits and spelled out in words to ensure the correct intended value is cleared.
Decimal Fractions
When decimals are included, they are traditionally spelled out individually or expressed as a fraction over 100 for currencies.
Linguistic Quirks
- The hyphen is usually placed between tens and units from 21-99 (e.g., 'twenty-one').
- American English typically omits the word 'and' after hundred (e.g., 'one hundred ten'), while British English includes it ('one hundred and ten').
