Игорю - небольшое дополнение

если быть до конца точным то мой вариант переводиться на русский - \"трудно первую сотню лет\" - думаю между \"сто лет\" и \"сотня лет\" разница не особо значительная, нес па ?

> 1) см. выше

В Инете 180 ссылок на слово \"матИматика\".
Т.е., либо опечатка, написано hundred вместо hundreds,
либо написано неправильно.

Найдите Правило, процитируйте. Я такого правила не нашёл.

> \"сто лет\" и \"сотня лет\" разница не особо значительная

Как раз для а.я. особо значительная. Так как в а.я. \"сотня\" используется во мн.ч. для создания неопределенности. У Вас же чёткая определённость.

> не могу не отметить что очень немногие переводчики знают ангийскую грамматику лучше, чем ваш покорный слуга

> of is not used with definite numbers except before the/them/these/those or possessives:
> six of the blue ones
> ten of these (вот оно, исключение, когда можно поставить OF в подобном случае, hundred вместо ten)
> four of Tom\'s brothers

P.S. Буду рад услышать мнение наших англо-американских друзей.
