Using "and" with numbers greater than 100
In American English is it usual to use the word "and" when talking of numbers just greater than 100? For example, in British English "110" would be "One hundred and ten", but you often hear it as "One hundred ten" in American English.
I'm sure that I've heard both formats used by Americans. Is it a regional thing in the States, or are the two ways interchangeable for most Americans?
How would 110 be said in Canada?

Hi, How would 110 be said in Canada? I'd say that 'and' is usually used, but sometimes you hear it the other way. We get a lot of USA influence through the media.
