French term
Quatre cent treize mille cent quatre vingt quinze
I am a bit confused translating this figure.
Jun 4, 2011 12:57: Carol Gullidge changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"
Non-PRO (3): Stéphanie Soudais, silvester55, Carol Gullidge
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Fine for US, but note that in GB we still tend to include the 'and's

Thanks and okie dokie. (In the US, "and" should only be used between the dollar amount and cents – as above, for amount written out in words on a check.)

: polyglot45 is right. the comma before the 2 zeroes is wrong in English. And why add them anyway? :) and sylvester55 has a point. call this a friendly disagree but a full disagree nonetheless.

OK, Tony, I already agreed with the previous 3 comments, see above. The 2 zeros after the last comma are used for CAD in Quebec.

: This number does not correspond to the one asked !! If the two zeors are for after a comma, then there should be a point before or the reverse. NOT two commas

Note in the whole dollars portion there is no "and" used. The "and" replaces the decimal point of the numeric entry. http://www.sophisticatededge.com/how-to-write-dollar-amounts...
[Please don't bug me about their syntax,]
By comparison, European cheques tend to be much more capacious. But then, Europe is ahead of us in getting rid of them, too.
See http://banking.about.com/od/checkingaccounts/ig/How-to-Write...
Two hundred dollars and eighty five cents
Three thousand two hundred euros (NB in Ireland they always use "euro" as the plural) and 15 cents
Fifteen pounds and eighty one pence
BUT, it is quite acceptable to drop the "and" before the pence
However, many people write the words only for the pounds and use numerals for the pence, when writing cheques, e.g.
Five hundred and ten pounds 89 pence
1,000,000 One million or One thousand point nought nought nought. They seem to forget that there can be more than two digits after the 'decimal' point.
what was hard about that ?
