    Why are we still using the word “scores”

    Edit for the haters: go ask someone tomorrow how much a “score” is. Most people would have to look it up, which makes it inappropriate for a headline where “hundreds” is more appropriate.

        Maybe hundreds?

        Scores is such an 1800s word. It’s simply not used in today’s vernacular, and I’m not sure why you’re defending it.

          I wasn’t defending anything. I literally asked what would be better.

          Apparently asking what would be better was bad.
