MODERATORS
I've just realised Americans don't say the "and" in numbers.
So instead of "a hundred and ninety six", they remove the "and", and they've just been walking around saying things like "a hundred ninety six" for years.
I mean, it's pretty commonly said, especially in a colloquial setting. More people than not probably use it.
But there is a convention that the "and" should be adhered to when a decimal is present; that said, – like many grammar rules – this isn't far from universally followed.
