Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary:

eighteen hundred & nineteenth century

"Eighteen hundreds,”

“sixteen hundreds” 

and so forth are not exactly errors; 

 

the problem is that 

they are used almost exclusively by people 

who are nervous about saying "nineteenth century” 

when, after all, the years in that century 

begin with the number eighteen. 

 

This should be simple: 

few people are unclear about the fact 

that this is the twenty-first century 

even though our dates begin with twenty. 

 

Just be consistent

about adding one to the second digit in a year 

and you’ve got the number of its century. 

 

It took a hundred yearsto get to the year 100, 

so the next hundred years, 

which are named “101,” “102,” etc. were in the second century. 

 

This also works BC.

The four hundreds BC are the fifth century BC. 

 

Using phrases like “eighteen hundreds” 

is a signal to your readersthat you are weak in math and history alike.
