Which spelling details matter here?
Compound numbers from 21 through 99 join the tens word and the ones word with a hyphen. In 1,249, the 49 part combines forty and nine, producing forty-nine. Hundreds are written by placing a digit word before hundred. In 1,249, the hundreds part is two hundred. American English usually omits and after hundred when more digits follow. That is why this page writes one thousand two hundred forty-nine without adding and before the final part. English reads large numbers in three-digit groups. 1,249 reaches the thousand group, so the group one is followed by the scale name thousand. Scale names stay singular inside exact number names. English writes one thousand without adding a plural s to the scale name.
How should these words be spaced?
