### note

After a number, «thousand» has no -s: «five thousand», not «five thousands». «Thousands of» is used without a number before it. In maths problems «a thousand» = 1,000 and «thousands» as a place value is the fourth digit from the right. In the UK, 1,000 may be written 1 000 or 1000; the comma is a separator, not a decimal point.
