Maybe you fly all over, but you haven't flown in the UK and much of Europe, if you haven't heard "FL Two Hundred".
In the atipodes a few years ago, FL "two hundred" (and I think Heading "two hundred?) was introduced to reduce confusion. We possibly inherited it from some other country? In any case, we then changed back to "two zero zero".
I see that UK CAP 413 (2011 version) says:
d) When transmitting messages containing flight levels each digit shall be
transmitted separately. However, in an endeavour to reduce ‘level busts’ causedby the confusion between some levels (100/110, 200/220 etc.), levels which are whole hundreds e.g. FL100, 200, 300 shall be spoken as “Flight level (number) HUN DRED”. The word hundred must not be used for headings.

Maybe we should make it easier for the likes of yourself?
Rodney, we already have TA/TL as 100/110. It works well. Try it one day.
