Different English Translation

Of course numbers are read all kinds of ways, but I was always taught that in reading a number without a decimal (i.e., "20, 354") the word "and" is not to be used. Thus, your example "20,354" would be vocalized as:  "twenty-thousand, three hundred fifty-four". No "and".

Hola Pati

Sorry about the delay. I checked with our English team and both options seem to be correct, either using "and" or drop it as you said.

Saludos

In the UK, we include an “and”. In the US, they don’t.
