Pronouncing numbers (when you’re *not* counting how many of something):
for 3 or 4-digit numbers, we group the last two and the first one or two:
110 = one ten
2016 = twenty sixteen
1803 = eighteen oh-three
If it ends with 00, we say “hundred”: 1800 = eighteen hundred
If it ends with 000, we say “thousand”: 2000 = two thousand
If it’s x00x, we also say “thousand”: 2009 = two thousand nine, 6004 = six thousand four

It can be tricky with things like prices. How much is “two twenty-five”?
$2.25 (e.g. for a coffee - two dollars and twenty-five cents)
$225.00 (e.g. for a camera - two hundred twenty-five dollars)
$225,000.00 (e.g. for a house - two hundred twenty-five thousand dollars)
---
(“twenty-two five” is $22,500 [twenty-two thousand five hundred] or $22,500,000 [twenty-two million, five hundred thousand], not $22.50, which is “twenty-two fifty”)
