How it reads numbers
The whole-number part is grouped into threes, hundreds, then thousands, millions, billions and beyond, and each group is spelled out with its scale word. Anything after the decimal point is read digit by digit after the word "point".
Handy for writing cheques, contracts, and invoices where the amount has to appear in words as well as figures.
