Is it normal to get annoyed when someone says numbers as... (read)

Lol I'm the opposite.. I dislike saying or hearing it as 'one thousand two hundred' instead of 'twelve hundred'

YES!!! I know what you mean.

Don't ever get a job in financial risk management or managed care insurance. Haha! IW, DOI, PP, IME, SMO, TPD, TTD, PTD, PPD, CA, DA, ALJ, STIPS, etc.

short cuts are the spice of life.

its normal to say fifteen hundred.

When you have to work in mm, you have to work saying twelve hundred compared to say one thousand two hundred or else you would get the measurements wrong. All tradies do it :-)

It takes longer to say it properly. We would probably waste a lot of time if we didn't abbreviate stuff, and I'm bad at math so I can't tell you how much time. Probably twelve hundred seconds (hee, hee)

Everyone has their pet peeves. I'm sure you're not alone.

I don't like that, either! It bugs me when they don't say the whole number the original way.

YES!!! I know what you mean. I hated that for as long as I could remember!

This is one of my petpeeves too >_<

Thanks for all ya feedback. I know people do it so it's easier to say and actually, I'm pretty pathetic at maths too, but whenever someone does it I just feel like, "Grrr... you're not saying it right!"
