Does anyone else want to reduce fractions when writing checks?

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. :smiley:

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.

Free checking, and I don’t even get to use it. That doesn’t seem American.

So, I suppose someone could take the next logical step: One hundred and fifty-three and three-fourths dollars—

Down with digits!

Ugh. That must be rough, dealing so often with the pubic. Personally I can only take so much. :wink:

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.

Somehow, knowing a self-professed enginerd is the only one who shares the impulse doesn’t make me feel any better about this … :stuck_out_tongue:

How about "Two hundred seventy five dollars and 62/1000 (Mills)?

Is it all this geeky? I’m in. :stuck_out_tongue:
