Netherlands calling. Same problem over here. Perhaps I would find inversion a little bit less annoying if it were at least applied consistently but no "123" = "one-hundred-three-and-twenty"!
- gizdan 5y agoMy parents emigrated to the Netherlands when I was young. In my native tongue we say numbers in the same way as they do in English. My 8 year-old brain struggled to understand this new way saying numbers when I started school in the Netherlands. I got there in the end but I recall it feeling like it took forever.
- ezconnect 5y agoIt's not weird, the problem is you learned to communicate in English and learned another way of vocalizing numbers.
