Decimal numbers, singular or plural?????
Which one is correct?
0.23 cents
0.23 cent
Some people say that between number 1 to -1, the unit should be in singular form. While some people say that this should be in plural.

After reading their discussion, I am very confused.

I got bored reading that discussion, some say this, others that. I say 25 cents, or 1 cent, or half a cent for 0.5 cents. Singular is 1 and I guess to get half or quarter of a cent it must be broken into pieces, so it is plural. Hope this is helpful.

0.23 cent
twenty three hundredths of a cent (singular)
If you put a $ in front:
$0.23
This is pronounced twenty three cents (plural)

That's probably a bad example, as most people would mentally say 'That's half of a cent'!
A quick and easy guide: if (knowledgeable) people are arguing about it, then both sides are probably true.
I would personally use singular, but I would not consider plural to be wrong.
