I have a question about writing checks
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 24th, 2026 3:22 PM Author: high-end lime jap so if you're writing a check for $30.10 you have to write out "thirty dollars and 10/100." ok fine. But what if it's for thirty dollars flat? Do you write "thirty dollars and 00/100" or can you just write "thirty dollars."
I've always written out the 00/100 but now I'm wondering if I've been wasting my efforts |

Date: June 24th, 2026 3:42 PM Author: cracking principal's office what they do is write "x 100" after the amount.
"thirty dollars" "x 100" = $3,000
and just add a couple zeros to "$30" |
|
Date: June 24th, 2026 3:44 PM Author: stirring main people seems like it would be even easier to add an exponent, e.g. "Thirty dollars ^ 3 and 0/100s -------" and then toss the same exponent on the end of the digit box number too (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877153&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310751#49961041) |

"Thirty Dollars and Not a Single Penny More (😊)" is perfect. It is clear and to the point and yet promotes cheerfulness and empathy for the reader/interpreter |
