Are the numbers in the title written correctly? I always thought it was one thousand and not a thousand or one hundred one instead of one hundred and one. So which is correct?
One thousand or A thousand
One hundred one or One hundred and one

Brits tend to use "a thousand" and "hundred and one" (and "a half").
Americans tend to use "one thousand" and "hundred one" (and "one half").
So depends on your culture.
Both "a thousand" and "one thousand" are correct and very rarely, either one of them apply to a situation and the other might sound just a little odd. "One hundred and one" is the correct one but I guess "one hundred one" might also do.
