    one hundred, twenty thousand, thirty-eight dollars, and sixty-three cents

    I can also be hired to write any break-up text messages or emails for the holidays as well.

    Lol. I am way past this in math classes in college and once i googled it and found a conversion website I had a serious DUH moment.

    I guess when your busy in math that has you consumed with letters instead of numbers you kinda get stuck when you gotta back track a lil bit.

    Thanx you guys!!

    I'm not worried so much about your trouble with it, but an attorney should probably know this....

    No worries. I'm an engineer and I don't work well with numbers. I design bridge foundations. Don't worry though, my *kitten* is safe.

    The zero in the hundreds spot can be tricky. We covered that with my 3rd grader.

    She works for Health and Human Services for the county. She dont really work with large numbers like that either. She was just typing out the probates and the question came up because we had to write it in word form.
    Sometimes if you dont work with something much it often just slips your mind.
    Shes amazing otherwise. Plus I couldnt remember it either. Lol.

    I know, really. In elementary school we learn that math is numbers. Then we get into jr high/high school and algebra, and suddenly there's letters in our math. And then we hit the college stuff and it's all letters. And all the Greek letters too! (We even used a Hebrew letter once for something!!!) Oh how I long for math that actually has NUMBERS in it anymore!

    ^^^ this
  • lawyer should know,, anything over 10 is typed as number, anything less than 10 is spelled out as one, two, three, four, five,,, ,, I know cuz I have paralegal degree.

    Unless it's less than 10 but there has been a number larger than 10 already in the sentence.

    Like... I have six nieces, 10 nephews, and 4 great nieces and nephews.
