Hello everybody!
I'd like to ask at the"s" of "thousand".Could anyone tell me why there is an"s"? I haven't seen this usage before.And many English tutors I have asked can't tell too.
So I'm waiting for your help.Thanks a million.🌹

It is the place value I believe. I think it would be clear if the y-axis values started at 10. I would make sense. 10,000, 30,000, 50,000 and so on.
It has an -s because of place value. Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands...

Thousands is the plural of thousand.

It shows that each value on the vertical scale is going to multiply with ten thousand (10000). For-example 280*10000=2800000 participants.

It is numbered in ten thousands, and thousand is a noun, so gets an "s". So, in 2012, there were 50 x 10,000=500,000. If it said "ten thousand participants", the "s" would have to be on "participants".
