    I rather meant how it sounds. It’s in the “hundreds”.

    Two thousands.
    Twenty hundreds.

    “Early twenty hundreds” does kind of make it sound like we live in 2224 instead while “early two thousands” sounds like 2002.
    I could have written it better.

      Well you also wouldn’t say ten hundreds for the 1000’s. I think it’s just a quirk of the being the first century in a millennia.
