NOTA:
En inglés, la coma equivale al punto en español. Por ejemplo: mil (1.000) sería thousand
(1,000).
Y el punto equivale a la coma en español. Por ejemplo: dos kilos y medio (2,5 kg) sería
two and a half kilograms (2.5 kg)

♠
La palabra hundred va siempre seguida de and.
∗
La palabra thousand sólo va seguida de and cuando el número siguiente es inferior a
100.

NOTA: En Inglés Americano se tiende a eliminar la palabra and en ambos casos.

Short way of writing the months and years
When you are writing down the date in a personal letter or on a note you
might like to write the month in a shorter way.

22nd January 2005 or 22nd Jan 2005

You write the first 3 letters of the month to show the whole month.

Examples
1. February Feb
2. September Sept The only month with 4 letters

form of the year.
