Firstly, it’s important to understand that thousands of is a kind of figure speech which means more than one thousand and on the other hand ten thousand of is not so effective to say that’s the reason almost everyone says ten thousand or twenty thousand and so on.
Well, ten thousand is a very good phrase for a novel or poetry but not so effective or useful metric in accounting. These two phrases are not used to designate a distinct number, except they are used for an order of magnitude.
What Does Ten Thousand of Mean?
Ten thousand of means more than ten thousand, meaning any number above 10,000 is ten thousand of, there are different names for this phrase, such as in Ancient Greek its μύριο also known as myriad in English, in Aramaic, it is ܪܒܘܬܐ (rabbā), in Hebrew רבבה (revava), in Chinese 萬/万 and many more language has a different name for it.
In the early version of the metric system, Greek roots were used, which was in the form of a decimal prefix also known as myria. In the UK and US ten thousand can be written as 10,000, whereas in European areas it’s written as 10.000, 10 000 is written in transition metric or 10•000 in this the dot is raised up to the middle of the zeros.
