http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_in_english#Cardinal_numbers

There's a difference between UK and US (apart from the billion = 10^9 or 10^12)
UK : 333 : three hundred AND thirty-three
US: 333 : three hundred thirty-three

Note that in American English, many students are taught not to use the word and anywhere in the whole part of a number, so it is not used before the tens and ones. It is instead used as a verbal delimiter when dealing with compound numbers. Thus, instead of "three hundred and seventy-three", one would say "three hundred seventy-three". For details, see American and British English differences.


One thing I have not found is for other than 'hundred'

is 1001 (one thousand one) or (one thousand AND one) ?
