Gosh, using that 'term' has Nothing to do w/ being lazy!
It is a sales gimmick to have you 'hear' a lower price.
Lisa Roberts was the first I remember who started saying 'and change' years and years ago.
And change, right...2 more cents and it is a dollar more! LOL
Sales tactic , Not laziness. So they are 'doing their job.....

OP: "More then 1 in anything has an S at the end."
The OP is incorrect by stating that an "s" or "es" is always added to a noun.
The list of these irregular plural nouns is almost endless:
child...children
man....men
mouse...mice
goose....geese
The examples go on and on......

I've even heard them say $17 and some pennies or $17 and some change. How about $99 = less than $100 😂🤣 only 350 to go around so get yours while the getting is good. There is no auto delivery and these are fuh-lying out the door. What's that Sean? 100 to go around, 99 people on the phone line, .com and mobile app are your best choice..... jingle jingle jingle... cardinals appear when angels are near 🙃🙂☺️
I got carried away, I'm aware

@Zhills - When I first read @VGfromMI 's post, my immediate reaction was to get a "red pen" and make corrections.
I was taught correct grammar, punctuation and spelling, not to mention sentence and paragraph structure.
Casting stones at someone else, while making a myriad of mistakes yourself, is a bit arrogant, IMO.
