RE: how to pronounce numbers
I should have added that many (most?) Americans say "and" even though it's technically not proper.
We also use "and" to mean addition: How much is 3 and 5? Eight. I taught with a Canadian teacher who would teasingly respond to a student who said "three hundred and twenty-one" by saying "How much is 'three hundred' and 'twenty-one?' Let me add them together. Let's see, that's three hundred twenty-one." (I guess I should have said North American English.) |
