I've got a number grammar question; my brothers and I are having a debate.

How do people say $1,250.72 in words? Where does the "and" go?

One thousand, two hundred and fifty two dollars and seventy two cents.

I use 2 "and"s

One thousand, two hundred and fifty two dollars and seventy two cents.

I am Nora. (YAY smaller PANTS for me!!!)

One thousand, two hundred fifty dollars and seventy-two cents.

A looooong time ago, some math teacher I had said that when you say "and" it means there's a decimal point there.

I have no idea if that is true, or if it's one of those little factoid thingies I hold onto for way too long that isn't all that true. Like my mom telling me that if you are in a high rise and a window breaks, you get sucked out from the release of the pressure.

One thousand, two hundred fifty dollars and seventy-two cents.

This is how I would write (and say) it.

Cramps have me exhausted and yet, unable to sleep. How is that fair?

Did you send them to me? I woke up at 6:30AM with the worst cramps I’ve had since my surgery. Old School "FUCK, this shit hurts" cramps. Not only that, there was (and still is) a sharp pain in my lower left abdominal area, where I believe my ovary is located. OW. I have taken Aleve, and am thinking about calling the doctor.

PANTS PANTS REVOLUTION!!

But NO GAUCHOS t /Edna

I am Aimee, both with the saying and potentially faulty logic.

eta - But NOT the gouchos.

A looooong time ago, some math teacher I had said that when you say "and" it means there's a decimal point there.

See, this is what I thought. But, my middle brother says no.

Yay, Nora, on the smaller pants!

Someone gag me.

Despite my (ahem) inclinations, the way I read this gave me an image of someone making you barf.

Dunno what that says about my subconscious.

One thousand, two hundred fifty dollars and seventy-two cents.

This.

One thousand, two hundred fifty dollars and seventy-two cents.

See, that's how I'd write it out but I can't not stick that extra "and" in there.
