The math textbooks I have used in the past say that 126.544 should be pronounced as "one hundred twenty-six and five hundred forty-four thousandths," using "and" to represent the decimal point. But many would say "one hundred and twenty-six point five four four".

Why not just "one two six point five four four" ?

12111

I would say 12101

Code:

Eleven thousand: 11000
Eleven hundred:   1100
And one:             1
=                12101
