Or other areas.
Ditto, I never thought about it and I’m very surprised at myself. After all, I compusively come up with an equation made out of the digits on a digital clock. And other similar exercises.

So what would happen if I wrote:
Only-Two-Hundred-Fifty-Four-Dollars-And-Twenty-Six-Cents–And-Three-More-Dollars?
or $60 and 250/100 Dollars?
Would I make the tellers do math?
Cheques? Haven’t written one in years.
I was just thinking the same thing, though now I’m tempted to start. My bill-pay service does keep images of the checks it sends out, but I haven’t noticed any creative written-out amounts on those.

I desperately want to reduce the fractions - I think it’s the efficiency that appeals to me. I’ve never actually done it, and probably won’t, but I’m glad I’m not the only one.

How about "Two hundred seventy five dollars and 62/1000 (Mills)?
Is it all this geeky? I’m in.
