It’s important to spell out numbers in addition to writing them when it comes to important documents and such
It helps you verify the numbers are accurate
Ludicrous!
Although they did get spelled out on checks on the whole days as a anti-fraud counter measure.

In the old days? I still do it. Just not that often.

We still have a couple of fairly large companies that pay us by check. I hate it because our finance office requires that it be deposited immediately and it disrupts my day.

Which is weird, because since ~2006 all checks are treated the same as debut card transactions after the first check is processed, since both sides nownhave full routing info.
