“Twelve thousand … no, dammit, I mean twelve HUNDRED.” Gets me every time.
It depends. In running track, distances up to 2000 meters are typically in hundreds of meters (200, 400,800,1500, etc) after that, it’s thousands( 3,000 ,5,000) Road races are almost always in “Ks”(5K,10K) while track distances are almost always thousands though 5K or 10K on the track is used.
For money or road driving I’ll always use thousands, hundreds.
I’m going to start saying “a hundred dozen” just to be contrary.
Twelve hunnert
“Sixty score”.
Usually “twelve hundred” I think, but in some contexts I might say “one thousand two hundred”.
Why “twelve hundred” and not “hundred-twenty ten”?
I was going to say a hundred dozen to be contrary. But now that you’re saying it, I need to start using a new term to maintain my contrariness.
“A duzzy double eggs” it is.
No option for “I don’t say this number”?
mmm
Depends on the context, but most likely “twelve hundred”.
'Four bee zero" for the truly computer inclined.
If you don’t talk to your children about numbers, they’ll learn about math from some kid on the streets.
And 1200 is a gateway number. 
This.
Given no context indicating one or the other, I might say it either way.
If I’m talking to Air Traffic Control I’m supposed to say it as, “One thousand, two hundred.”.
Outside of an airplane I’m more likely to say, “Twelve hundred.”
Another vote for twelve hundred.
You want contrary? Ichi-sen, ni-hyaku. Truthfully, though, I also would say ‘it depends on context’, but most of the time I’d say twelve hundred.
A thousand, two hundred.
Depending on which language I am speaking it could be either:
eins komma zwei
or
uno coma dos.
When I was in the Navy, assigned to a ship, it was “One two hundred”.
Other than that it’s “twelve hundred”.
