At work a couple of days ago I was taking measurements of Rebar (metal bar used in constrution), as per request of my foreman, trying to find the ones that fit the best. In Canada here, we use metric. All measurements are given in millimeters. Ie we'll say a 3.4 metre bar is 3400 hundred. Well it came down to 1000 millimetres, and I said the measurement is 10 hundred. And my foreman said you mean a thousand? Yeah, that's what I meant.
But is ten hundred bad english, or just not used anymore? What think?
