Colloquial English monetary expressions like twenty grand, in the sense of twenty thousand dollars/bucks, are to be analyzed with grand as an adjective modifying a silent version of total, in combination with silent counterparts of thousand and bucks. This analysis supports the idea that the language faculty does not burden itself with any requirement that syntactically and semantically active elements always be pronounced.
