The comma boundary separates 1 from 805: “one thousand” is read before “eight hundred five”.
One thousand eight hundred five
Pattern: Thousands with a silent tens place
1,805 splits into 1 | 805. In the final group, the tens place is zero, so “five” follows “eight hundred” directly.

The comma boundary separates 1 from 805: “one thousand” is read before “eight hundred five”.
The tens position contains zero. It preserves place value in the numeral but adds no spoken word.
The American English style used here normally omits “and” between “hundred” and the following tens or ones.
