Recently I was on a turnpike, and the particular stretch I was just finishing comes to $5.75 (I drive it often). I reach the tollbooth and the operator announces "Five seventy-five" and I hand him a $10 and a $1 (so that I could get a $5 back instead of 4 $1 bills). He takes them, [i]sets the $1 to the side[/i], puts the $10 in the till, counts out $4.25 and returns $5.27 (consisting of 5 $1 bills, of course) to me and proclaims: "it was [b]five[/b] seventy-five"
You'd think someone that deals with small bills all day would be able to grasp the concept.
