We say "eighteen aughts" to refer to 1800-1809 and "eighteen hundreds" to refer to 1800-1899. Don't worry, this has already been resolved.
"The eighteen hundreds" sometimes means 1800—1809 and sometimes 1800—1899. It's dumb. Let's scrap it. "Eighteen oh ex" "Eighteen exty ex"

That rule works, but feels weird for decades where the century digit is zero: "One thousand oh ex" "Twenty oh ex"

You have a problem with "TWO THOUSAND [AND] EX"? Mega Man never did!
