Thanks to all for your responses. I might have known it was the *lawyers* 
behind this weird behaviour! As if it wasn't bad enough making us write 
'BlackBerry devices', when no-one in their right mind would call them that 
in everyday speech. 

Does anyone know what happens if you write a cheque and put 'two thousand 
dollars' in words and $200 in figures? Can the payee assume you meant 
$2000?
