Plus, it just isn't natural to say "four four". Honestly, are you an official who says the actual number or someone who separates the numbers? If you are, can I borrow $100 dollars and I will pay you back "one zero zero" dollars five minutes later. That will make me a quick $99!

I used to, simply because it's what I was hearing around me at the lower levels. The last few years, I've changed to using the whole number. I just thought it was odd that one was a problem for you and the other isn't. I could see two-hand reporting as being just as likely to cause confusion for a less experienced crew and table.
