I’m not sure what that would be, do you have an option to review what Siri says as a transcript?

Usually it would be eleven point five-seven, with decimals we just read out the following numbers individually.

Hi Maddie, yes it is possible; it depends a little on the context, but generally it would acceptable if you want to be clear about the specific digits (but if discussing quantities we usually wouldn’t say it this way, as it could be confused for 2.34).

Hi Lucia, as I said above – we wouldn’t necessarily use “and” here because it could sound like two separate numbers. It makes sense for them to flow together without “and”. However, it wouldn’t necessarily be an error, it can still be understand with “and” and you may find some speakers say it that way.

Now I’m confused… Shouldn’t it be one hundred and sixty-five million and two hundred thousand?

Good question – I think people write the years in full so rarely that it’s probably not very well regulated. My style guides don’t seem to cover it. I would imagine it’s often written with only double-digit numbers hyphenated, i.e. the last two numbers. A chief example I think would be the title for George Orwell’s book 1984, which I believe is typically written as “Nineteen Eighty-Four”.

Hello there. Is year’s full form hyphenated? Thanks in advance!
