Usually in the English language, describing something as plural means more than one. If you want to argue that 100 is the same as "hundreds" and that 96 is more than 100 then you are more then qualified to write articles for WND.

Nothing personal but you really are clueless. I've already stated the definition of "hundreds" -- "a number between 100 and 999". So by definition a number of 101 might be described as in the "hundreds". Don't argue with me, take it up with the dictionary committees. I've never argued that 96 is greater than 100. You're just back tracking after making an initial dumb remark. The important point is that the *DIFFERENCE* between 96 and 100 is not signficant in terms of the evidence.
