Actually, no. You only put "and" between the penultimate and last items in an enumeration Smile

So, if asked what was in your fridge, you wouldn't answer "milk, butter, lager", you would answer "milk, butter and lager".

Similarly, the number 1360 is 1000, 300 and 60.

Also note the use of the Oxford comma (which I forgot in my previous post -- shame on me!)
