This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sorry I am not a native English speaker. I forgot you guys pronounce it weird.

If you want it to read as "a hundred," you simply write out in letters "a hundred" (without the quotes).

If you want to say "one hundred," you can write 100 or "one hundred" (without the quotes). Typically shorter numbers in the single or double digits should be written out with letters and then switch to numerical representation at three digits and above to be considered "correct" by some academics. Always write with numerics-only when working in scientific or data-oriented settings.

Finally, if you want to write "a one hundred," simply write "a 100" (without the quotes).
