If anyone ever refers to the number 1500 as fifteen hundred I will personally eat their brain

It’s one thousand five hundred you linguistic lazybones

That's like saying half a dozen when you really just mean....6
🙄
@abe182 ME 🔪🔪😡😂
ArtieKat · M
@Mildreadful How about a hundred dozen -is that more acceptable?
abe182 · 46-50, M
@Mildreadful you're sexy when you wield an knife 😊
Elegy · 46-50
It's an odd thing to take issue with. Is is after all accurate.
Elegy · 46-50
@Mildreadful but 1200 is twelve hundreds...
@Elegy but you say it one thousand two hundred 😡😂
Elegy · 46-50
@Mildreadful no [i]you[/i] say it that way. I say it both ways. :P
You're concerned about a number ?.....have you seen the spelling on SW ?
And don't get me stared about the grammar....
ie: " I mssge lol "= WTF ? 😫

What if we say "one hundred fifty ten"?
@KingofPizza2 that’s okay 👌
KingofPizza2 · 36-40, M
@Mildreadful Yippee skippee!

You'd think people living in Twenty-eighteen would know better!
@hunkalove shhhh that’s a year it’s an exception if I was talking about the number it’s two thousand and eighteen

Fifteen hundred is just so much faster to say though. 😂
@5thApprentice it’s also AN ABOMINATION TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE 😢
TheWildEcho · 56-60, M
It's fifteen hundred
@TheWildEcho 🔪🔪🔪you owe me one brain
TheWildEcho · 56-60, M
@Mildreadful don't have one
I say that because it sounds weird otherwise lol but I’ll correct it in a professional setting. But I refuse to talk like an educated person on my own time.
@MorbidCynic it sounds weird as fifteen hundred
@Mildreadful no lol
@MorbidCynic yes :I
MartinII · 70-79, M
Nonsense. Either description is correct and entirely acceptable.
MartinII · 70-79, M
@Mildreadful No, I’m afraid my knowledge of the English language seems to be better than yours. No offence intended.
@MartinII shhh I demand [i]perfection[/i] rather than [i]acceptability[/i]
MartinII · 70-79, M
@Mildreadful Well I’m in favour of that, but I don’t think it applies in this case. Perhaps you would explain why you think one thousand five hundred is preferable to fifteen hundred.
Groofydorkgerdo · 56-60, M
'LINGUISTIC LAZYBONES ???😏 Just how do you come with these terms?
@Groofydorkgerdo because I’m not a linguistic lazybones 😆

You've been consuming a lot of flesh lately.
@CountScrofula it’s delicious
Petrolhead16 · 26-30, M
Then what do you call 100 thousand
@Petrolhead16 one hundred thousand. Not one thousand hundred 😆
It’s called hundreds up until 1000 then it’s in thousands and hundreds
Petrolhead16 · 26-30, M
It is known as lac.
