i voted #1. I remember learning that you shouldn't use and when saying larger numbers.

I know! But I think she is wrong!!!

I'm trying to get my paperwork together to send my proof corrections back this week!

It's incorrect to use 'and' when saying or writing numbers.
Believe me, I was corrected as a student teacher

Just think about it this way when you say the number '55'
You wouldn't say, 'fifty and five', you say,' fifty five'

Actually I just looked at a few sample wedding invites and they all say 'two thousand AND eleven'...I would have thought the opposite, but I guess that is the way to do it :)

Should be two thousand eleven.....two thousand and eleven would mean 2000.11 HTH!!


Agreed!

there shouldnt be an 'and' unless there is a decimal point. such as 20 dollars and 11 cents

'she' made my proof showing two thousand and eleven...when i showed my mother she was adamant it was changed to two thousand eleven. She is a math teacher (for lack of better description) and said mathematically there is no and. IMO i didnt care one way or another but she feels so strongly the 'and' doesnt belong so I am having 'her' remove it.

def two thousand eleven. no and! Just like the past posts the correct way to say 111 is one hundred eleven.... not one hundred and eleven.
