I've just realised Americans don't say the "and" in numbers.

So instead of "a hundred and ninety six", they remove the "and", and they've just been walking around saying things like "a hundred ninety six" for years.

It's worse than that - I'd actually say "one ninety six".

But in my head I always read the comm name as "one nine six".

To be fair, I probably say things like "one ninety six" or "one nine six" when referring to measurements.

i.e. how far is it between those two? "2... fifty four... point... 3". I guess there's a sort of silent "metres" "centimetres" etc in there.
