101: One hundred and one 234,500: Two hundred and thirty four thousand five hundred Based on my experience, Britons, Australians and New Zealanders say the "and", and North Americans do not (ie "one hundred one", etc). I believe most other English speaking countries say the "and". Which version was used first?

Understanding the Context

When using the word " which " is it necessary to still use " one " after asking a question or do " which " and " which one " have the same meaning? Where do you draw the line on the difference between " which " and " which one " when asking a question that involves more than one answer? However, "one and only one" adds emphasis to the fact that there is only one, and draws attention to it. For example, the student who is the only one who failed, might feel more ashamed if the teacher uses "one and only one", as the teacher might be perceived as purposely drawing attention to that fact, for whatever reason.
