## Writing it on a cheque

On a cheque the amount line reads "One thousand five hundred and five and 00/100" — or "One thousand five hundred and five only" in Indian and much of Commonwealth practice. The fraction or the word "only" exists to stop anyone appending digits after what you wrote. Draw a line through any space left over for the same reason.
