Which spelling details matter here?

Compound numbers from 21 through 99 join the tens word and the ones word with a hyphen. In 8,272, the 72 part combines seventy and two, producing seventy-two. Hundreds are written by placing a digit word before hundred. In 8,272, the hundreds part is two hundred. American English usually omits and after hundred when more digits follow. That is why this page writes eight thousand two hundred seventy-two without adding and before the final part. English reads large numbers in three-digit groups. 8,272 reaches the thousand group, so the group eight is followed by the scale name thousand. Scale names stay singular inside exact number names. English writes eight thousand without adding a plural s to the scale name.
