- two thousands OR two thousand | WordReference Forums
Talking about pure numbers, we can also use plurals: 'the total is somewhere in the two thousands' = it's somewhere between 2000 and 2999, but I'm not sure where We talk about 'the low two thousands' (2000 to perhaps about 2300) and 'the low thousands' (somewhere over 1000 to about 3000, but not a larger number of thousands)
- thousand or thousands of - WordReference Forums
It would be "a thousand" or "thousands of", but not "thousand of" The same is true for other numbered groupings: a dozen dozens of a score scores of a hundred hundreds of a milllion millions of The "thousand" here is a single group "Thousands" are multiple instances of a thousand

I searched the meaning of "thousands" and "hundreds" hundredsThe numbers from 100 to 999 (Lexico Dictionary) thousands The numbers from one thousand to 9,999 so I got to wonder in "hundreds of thousands", what if it's 999(hundreds) of 9,999(thousands) then it becomes approximately 10million

- $0,000s and $0,000s | WordReference Forums
In financial reports, I often see (,000s) written at the top of a column indicating that you should add "000" to any figure displayed ", I wondered if "$0,000s" means, for example, $30,000" or "$50,000" or whatever adding 1-9 numbers before the first "0", hence, "tens of thousands of dollars" not "thousands of dollars "
- by the thousands the thousand | WordReference Forums
Hmmm, interesting Once again, it may be the logic that I try to impose on a completely illogical language but since there are many thousands of thousands, I just naturally think of it in the plural To me, "a thousand" is just that - a single unit of one thousand (1,000) Same can be said for "dozen", etc
- thousands of years - WordReference Forums
Thousands of years (thousands is a plural noun) is more than 2,000 years and less than 10,000 years I don't think either would ensure that the reader received the idea of six to seven thousand years
