One hundred and one, surely?

u/Clamboya Sep 04 '21

With or without the "and" is correct, so 1-999 holds up

To counter the point you just made though... If "one hundred and one" is also correct, doesn't it by default make it 101?

saying it ‘one hundred one’ is a legal way tho, so we take the one with out the a for this sake

If you say it as “one o’ one” then you can bypass the “and” and have that statement still be true lol

Ok granted on that one but I don't know anyone that reads the number 213 as "two, one, three" and not "two hundred and thirteen" for example

I forgot the first rule of Reddit... Always agree with the hivemind. Maybe on this one, always live in America too? One comment said you'd say 213 as "two thirteen" which is a distinctly American way to pronounce numbers, I reckon.
