You're right. It is hard to read. I didn't write it out to see how it would look. 250, -70 thousand dollars maybe? Yours is probably the best. It's sooooooo hard to reflect the understandable spoken word understandably sometimes! grrrrrr!!!

So would you do it:
... turned over of about two hundred fifty, seventy thousand dollars that were a/p?

I thought that was harder to read than what I had. I don't like the hyphen there either, but I'm trying to make it understandable.

This is one of the very few time that I would write out the numbers. I've never gotten used to the hyphen used that way.

I hate it when they split their numbers up.

What I remember was that there was a deficit turned over of about 250­, -70,000 dollars that were accounts payables.

Any other ideas?

Leanne,
I would just use the word slash, as spoken, so it is clear.

Comment by LeAnne Law on June 3, 2009 at 9:28

The witness said "slash" where I need to put a dash, so I don't know what to do after "myself" where I would normally put the ending dash. The witness does this a lot. It's driving me nuts.

A. At the very, very start of this unhappiness there were specific things that we felt, slash, Vickie, Larry, myself, we were not getting answers to specific questions that we asked.

I wouldn't use the hyphen, just "a million fifty." I rarely write out numbers, but in this case I would. I don't like the mix of words and numerals when they're connected to a single number.

Just another note. Derek, I have heard people misspeak and say a million-five for 1,500,000 and also a million-five for 1,000,500.

Comment by Veronica Kubat on June 2, 2009 at 14:32

Derek:

...the one for a million-fifty.

Comment by Derek Hoagland on June 2, 2009 at 12:58

A. Right now it just has the one for a million 50.

am I technically accurate to leave it exactly as written? I am not certain how to interpret: a million 50. she could mean 1,050,000 or 1,000,050.

anybody have an opinion?

Thanks,
Derek
