Formula & methodology

Common misspellings: fourty (forty), ninty (ninety), twelvth (twelfth), forteenth (fourteenth), ninteenth (nineteenth), seperate (separate in "one and a half"). Ordinal patterns: -ty words + ieth (sixty + ieth = sixtieth). Compound numbers 21-99: require hyphen (twenty-one, not twenty one). Hundred/thousand: no plural (two hundred, not two hundreds).

Frequently asked questions

"Forty" (not "fourty") is the single most common number misspelling in English. "Ninety" (not "ninty"). "Twelfth" (not "twelth" or "twelvth"). "Fifth" (not "fith"). "Forty-first" through "forty-ninth" (all require correct "forty" spelling). "Eighth" (not "eigth"). Ordinals ending in -ty change to -tieth: twenty = twentieth, thirty = thirtieth, forty = fortieth.
In American English, "and" is used only to separate the whole number from the fractional part: "one hundred and fifty dollars and twenty-five cents" or "three and a half." For integers, American style omits "and": "one hundred twenty-three" (not "one hundred and twenty-three"). British English commonly uses "and" between hundreds and the remaining digits: "one hundred and twenty-three." Follow the style guide required for your context.
