Notes on Writing Out Numbers and Years:

  • 1: In American English, unlike British English, when writing out years of three or more digits, the word 'and' is not used after 'hundred' or 'thousand'; i.e. 963 is written out as 'nine sixty-three' (American English) and not as 'nine hundred and sixty-three' (British English); 2025 is 'two thousand twenty-five' (American English) and not 'two thousand and twenty-five' (British English).
  • 2. Up to 1999 the years are spoken as hundreds, but for shortening, the words 'hundred and' are omitted: i. e. 1999 = 'nineteen (hundred and) ninety-nine' = 'nineteen ninety-nine'.
  • 3. After the year 2000 the years are spoken as normal numbers, but for shortening, in colloquial language, the years are pronounced in groups of two: i. e. 2000 = 'two thousand'; 2001 = 'two thousand (and) one', but also 'twenty oh one'.
  • 4. Do not use commas when writing in digits years above 999; i.e. it is 1234; 1973, 2021, and not 1,234; 1,973, 2,021.
  • 5: It's correct to hyphenate all compound numbers from 'twenty-one' (21) through 'ninety-nine' (99). The hyphen is the minus sign, as in 'thirty-four' (34).


Notes on the Letter Cases used to write out in words the number above:

  • 1: Lowercase: only lowercase letters are used. Example: 'seventy-six and two tenths'.
  • 2: Uppercase: only uppercase letters are used. Example: 'SEVENTY-SIX AND TWO TENTHS'.
  • 3. Title Case: the first letters of the words are capitalized, except for certain short words, such as articles, conjunctions and short prepositions, 'a', 'an', 'the', 'and', 'but', 'for', 'at', 'by', 'to', 'or', 'in', etc. Example: 'Seventy-Six and Two Tenths'.
  • 4. Sentence case: only the first letter of the first word at the beginning of the sentence is capitalized. Example: 'Seventy-six and two tenths'.
  • 5. Start Case: the first letter of each word is capitalized without any exception. Example: 'Seventy-Six And Two Tenths'.
  • 6. Camel Case: text has no spaces nor punctuation and the first letter of each word is capitalized except for the very first letter in the series. Example: 'seventySixAndTwoTenths'.
  • 7. Hyphen Case: text has no spaces nor punctuation and the words are delimited by hyphen. Example: 'seventy-six-and-two-tenths'. Hyphen Case can be lowercase or uppercase.
  • 8. Snake Case: text has no spaces nor punctuation and the words are delimited by underscore. Example: 'seventy_six_and_two_tenths'. Snake Case can be lowercase or uppercase.

1.2. For years ending with two zeros:

  • 1700 = the year seventeen hundred, in both American and British English;
  • 1800 = the year eighteen hundred, in both American and British English;
