@Mildreadful Not really.
Once you get high enough it does. 51 hundred sounds off. but not 21 hundred. 🤷

@Elegy 21 hundred sounds like someone has taken the English language and poured lava down its throat. Anything over 1000 is no longer a hundred

@Mildreadful but 1200 is twelve hundreds...

@Elegy but you say it one thousand two hundred 😡😂
