Why do people say 100 OFF screws when they're selling 100 OF them? It's of, not off:

Maybe it's like saying "100 number" as opposed to "100 lbs"; i.e. a unit designation.
I would never say "100 number", that's illogical, did you mean "100 in number"? I'd say "100 units", or "100 pieces", or "100 of them". Or advertise it as "100 pk" (as in pack of 100).
