"E.g. in the Brooklyn streetcar system, the PCC cars 1000-1099
were the ten-hundreds, not the one-thousands."

Off-topic - but everyone called the year 2000 "two thousand" and I (and many others) call the present year "two thousand and six". But if I am looking forwards to 2010, I think of it as "twenty-ten", not "two thousand and ten". I don't know why.
