thirteen hundred?
why does, let's say, 1300 read as thirteen hundred and not as one thousand (and) three hundred? why is the first one more commonly used?

Hi, how are you? Well, I'm not a native english speaker, but I think that the first one it's more common because it's more easy, at least for me, to say thirteen hundred, than one thousand and three hundred haha. But it's funny, because in portuguese at least, we only say something simmilar to 'one thousand and three hundred', and doesnt' exists the first option. I think it's just for convenience

Lady Hacer,
<em>I've heard something like that: thirteen,0, 0 (1300).</em>

I don't think there is really a reason or that one is more common than the other. I think in some countries or dialects one form is more common than the other. For example, I am English and I never say 13 hundred.

I think it depends on where you are. In the US, we usually say "Thirteen Hundred." When I went to the Philippines, they found it strange. They are more used to "One Thousand Three Hundred."
