2013年7月9日 · Talking about pure numbers, we can also use plurals: 'the total is somewhere in the two thousands' = it's somewhere between 2000 and 2999, but I'm not sure where. We talk about 'the low two thousands' (2000 to perhaps about 2300) and 'the low thousands' (somewhere over 1000 to about 3000, but not a larger number of thousands).

2019年1月6日 · No. "Many thousands" usually means 10,000 or 18,000. A million is a thousand thousands: far more than "many thousands". I often run into the problem in English: how to express a vague range of numbers. There are "dozens", "hundreds", "thousands" and "millions" but there is nothing in between.

2019年10月2日 · Unlike Julian I think "hundreds of thousands" are often used even when the "hundreds" amount to 12 or 15 or a bit more. For me, "hundreds of thousands" could exceed one million, but not approach two million at which point people would naturally say "millions".

2009年4月7日 · It would be "a thousand" or "thousands of", but not "thousand of". The same is true for other numbered groupings: a dozen / dozens of a score / scores of a hundred / hundreds of a milllion / millions of The "thousand" here is a single group. "Thousands" are multiple instances of …

2011年8月9日 · I think it would be more typical to switch to "nearly 100,000" or "over 100,000" once you hit the 100,000 mark. To me, tens of thousands means somewhere between 20,000 and 90,000 but more likely under 50,000. These terms are often used when no one knows the exact count but they know that it is at least the minimum indicated by the phrase.

2007年6月17日 · Hmmm, interesting. Once again, it may be the logic that I try to impose on a completely illogical language but since there are many thousands of thousands, I just naturally think of it in the plural. To me, "a thousand" is just that - a single unit of one thousand (1,000). Same can be said for "dozen", etc.

2021年7月20日 · I searched the meaning of "thousands" and "hundreds" hundredsThe numbers from 100 to 999. (Lexico Dictionary) thousands The numbers from one thousand to 9,999. so I got to wonder in "hundreds of thousands", what if it's 999(hundreds) of 9,999(thousands) then it becomes approximately 10million.

2010年6月24日 · In financial reports, I often see (,000s) written at the top of a column indicating that you should add "000" to any figure displayed.", I wondered if "$0,000s" means, for example, $30,000" or "$50,000" or whatever adding 1-9 numbers before the first "0", hence, "tens of thousands of dollars" not "thousands of dollars."

2017年7月3日 · Hi, This is from my student's exercise paper: The volunteers sent more than _____ crayons to Guangming Junior High School. A. Two thousand. B. Two thousands. C. two thousands of I think A is correct, while my student said C is. I …

2012年3月8日 · However, there is this guideline that I’m struggling with: it says that if the last group after the thousands is 1-99, you have to use “and”. My question is if you have to use it even if you choose way number 2 above-mentioned or it is only used if you choose way number 1. Thank you so much in advance.
