Actually the score was settled a thousand years ago when King William won a battle in the year One Thousand and Sixty-Six.
Or more recently George Orwell wrote a book called "One Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighty-Four".
And checkout Prince singing "Tonight I'm gonna party like it's One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine". (www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnuijDieOvY)
The long number just doesn't quite fit really.
