Wait for the sparks when users of English (USA) want "one hundred
three"!

I know Americans say "one hundred three" but do they really write it
like that too?
Yup
And is it correct?
Yes
An example would be a check for $103.21 would be "One Hundred Three
Dollars and 21/100".

Hmm. Because there's a "moneytext" function in the extension used as,
for example:
=moneytext(103.21;"USD") which produces "one hundred and three U.S.
dollars and twenty-one cents"
Sounds as if someone's going to have to lobby for a change to
differentiate between US and UK English.
Oh maybe not - I sent an email to a friend, an English teacher about
this - her response.
"It's Sunday - get a life :>)"
[LOL, One needs to know her to truly love her.]
I rather doubt most folks will much care one way or the other. Most of
my friends (in the US) are familiar with the saying "Two peoples
separated by a common language." and are OK with it.
