Cebus Capucinis Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Twenny Six Hundred. Everyone knows the second "t" in "twenty" is silent. I thought people who said 'twenny' also said 'hunnerd'? Example: "I play 'tari tapes on my 'tari twenny six hunnerd." Twenny Six Hundred. Everyone knows the second "t" in "twenty" is silent. I thought it was the Twenny Six Hunnerd?

+save2600 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I think I'd open palm slap someone in the face if I heard them call the 2600, two thousand six hundred. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so_tough! Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Since there is no "26 100" in German language it was always the 2 1000 6 100 for me. same. Let me explain this, if I got a high score of 1900, that would be one thousand 9 hundred. Would Americans call that nineteen hundred?

+Random Terrain Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Would Americans call that nineteen hundred? They might. This stupid new forum software won't let us make a video start playing where we want, so you'll have to jump to 56 seconds yourself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsDgF2lfb-w#t=0m56s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsDgF2lfb-w&fmt=56 Upgrades are so wonderful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I think I'd open palm slap someone in the face if I heard them call the 2600, two thousand six hundred. It's too bad we can't palm-slap someone in the face over the Internet. I think it would solve a lot of problems if we could. I thought it was the Twenny Six Hunnerd? That's the way Nolan Bushnell usually pronounces it (he actually says "Twenny Six Hunderd", which is almost the same), so that must be the right way. For American southwesterners, anyway.

mtshark7 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 How about calling it the 2.6k? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 How about calling it the 2.6k? Unfortunately, that would translate to the Atari 2662.4; perhaps you meant "the 2.5390625k"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user42 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Let me explain this, if I got a high score of 1900, that would be one thousand 9 hundred. Would Americans call that nineteen hundred? It can go either way. It is up to the person. Interestingly, the even thousands are always called such. Example- 2000 is never called "twenty hundred" (always "two thousand") but 2100 can be "two thousand, one hundred" OR "twenty one hundred".... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high voltage Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Two thousand six hundred for Europeans, twenty six hundred for USAers. Everyone I know on the UK says it's the two thousand six hundred. But then USAers say 'gotten' and my UK friends say Americans can't speak proper English anyway.

Let me explain this, if I got a high score of 1900, that would be one thousand 9 hundred. Would Americans call that nineteen hundred? Yes. We also do that when talking about the price of a car or while giving a bid at an auction. We also do it with the national debt because it sounds smaller with hundred at the end. Another thing we do is say that the age of the universe is one hundred thirty seven million five hundred thousand hundred years old to make the universe sound younger. Seriously, for us making thousands into hundreds is to say a number faster. It is an abbreviation like you're instead of you are. It is faster to say nineteen hundred instead of one thousand nine hundred because it is two less words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
