>Pat, your posting reminded me of an idea I had (but never implemented) a >while back. We could use SI prefixes when writing cheques to familiarize >financial institutions and the public with the prefixes. I have a style of cheque-writing [which I HAVE implemented]. I strip out the blanks, 15 or 20 at a time, and preprint them with the year (eg. 2001) at the LEFT end of the date line. When writing a cheque, I fill in the month and the day in that order. Note that this also creates a left-justified fill-in situation. Duncan >For example, when making out a cheque for $125.00, I will try writing "1.25 >hectodollars" on the line provided for the written-out expression
