More evidence, my sweet Max, of the ignorance/apathy that led to Hyla's accounts receivables.
(But I'd wait to correct them till I had the $1000 in my
hand!)

Somewhat unaccountably, 'the $1000' doesn't seem nearly as irreconcilably awful as 'a $1000'. I'd never accept a $1000, but I'd take the $1,000. If it's not too much to ask.

Ughhh! what a nasty way of putting it - I'd also like to wait until the exchange rate is even more favourable, as well

Well, here's what kills me. (My dander has been up since yesterday with the accounts receivables thing - and I'm still going!) On my occasional viewings of Jeopardy, the announcer seems to be hell-bent on reading $31,001 as "thirty-one thousand and one dollar". As if "a $1000" wasn't fetid enough, this guy ignores the original $31,000 and decides it's all singular by the time he completes the phrase.

I realize it's only vaguely pertinent, but I saw an opening to get this out of my system. Thanks. I feel much better.

I would read "How would you like to win $1000?" "How would you like to win one thousand dollars?"

And I would read "How would you like to win a $1000?" "How would you like to win a one thousand dollars?"

In my book, then, the referenced subject line offends not through redundancy, but simply by being ungrammatical.
