....Americans swap from 100s to 1000s when counting?

Just watched this programme where he talked about 25 hundred and in the next breath talked about 45 thousand.

We would change to 1000s after 19 hundred, no?

I really should find better things to think about, but it's bothered me on and off for years!

Have a look at Crores & Lakhs in Indian counting

It all depends if they got the dough to get that high.

When auctioneers go from £2 to £50 in two's is damn irritating....hurry it up, ffs!

My second-born has the habit of saying stuff like "four point three thousand", meaning £4300.

Just doesn't sound right to me........

Old curmudgeon that I am
