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