Part 5444

<note>&hand; The word <i>hundred</i>, as well as <i>thousand</i>, <i>million</i>, etc., often takes a plural form. We may say <i>hundreds</i>, or many <i>hundreds</i>, meaning individual objects or units, but with an ordinal numeral adjective in constructions like five <i>hundreds</i>, or eight <i>hundreds</i>, it is usually intended to consider each hundred as a separate aggregate; as, ten <i>hundreds</i> are one thousand.</note>
