to be less snarky, I'd never actually heard the idea that "and" with a set of numbers implies a decimal, and I've definitely never heard the word mantissa before today!
the more you knoooow
I'd never heard the implicit decimal side of the equation, but I was taught that it's technically incorrect to use and when stating a number

tbh I've never really heard this either and outside of like, a very specific mathematics-based setting I can't really imagine why it would be seen as wrong
it's super duper common in normal spoken speech
seems like one of those "rules for rules' sake" type things people like to do with language sometimes

I have never in my life as a student, scientist, and now science-adjacent person heard someone use "and" to refer to a decimal. It has always been "point" or "dot" to swap to the decimal.
This feels like "literally" and "decimate," again.

Same.
Only way is "forty dollars and thirty two cents" where they're saying a list.

The "and" makes sense with money as cents and dollars are two different things. You have dollars and cents. You wouldn't use "and" if you were talking about a decimal amount of dollars.

Many of you may be familiar with the concept of your Earth 'Christmas', but were you aware that this year, the Earth holiday of Christmas is also the same day as Martian New Year's Eve?
Mars has an orbit last a little under 2 Earth years, and it celebrates a new one every time it rolls through its vernal equinox, which this year happens to fall on the day after Christmas on Earth, hence Christmas is also Martian New Year's Eve.
The year just ending is Martian year 36, with the first day of year 37 starting on Boxing Day. Year 36 began back in Feb 2021 (coincidentally on another significant holiday here in New Zealand, Waitangi Day), while the last day of year 37 falls on Nov 11, 2024 (Armistice Day). The years count from a series of observed dust storms back in the 1950's because you had to start somewhere.
Owing to the slightly more elliptical orbit, Mars has a longer Spring and Autumn and shorter Summer and Winter (relatively - with years being twice as long even the short seasons last longer than Earth's).
This has been your holiday season interesting facts.

If you have cents with the dollars, the and denotes the split to cents
If you don't, it's one hundred and thirty five dollars
Or ten thousand, one hundred and thirty five dollars
etc

And the other way to say $40.32 that I feel is commonly used is "forty thirty two", not "forty and thirty two"
Illegal.

Holy shit this is so cursed. I now regret bringing up the whole thing.
