在数字口头表达方面,两国也存在着差别.$175（175美元）英语读成a(one) hundred and seventy five dollars,美语读成one hundred seventy five dollars,常省略and；表达连续同样数字的号码时,英语习惯用double或triple,美语一般不这样用,如电话号码320112,英语读成three two zero,double one two,美语则读成three two zero one one two,999 234英语读成nine double nine (triple nine) two three four,美语则读成nine nine nine two three four,不过美国人也把连续三个相同的号码读成three 加上这个数字的复数形式,如999读成three nines.
