> When it comes to how to store numbers, in English, we read the highest value from the right to the lowest value on the left. Huh? When I read 24, "twentyfour", the highest value is on the left, followed by less high values on the right, and spoken in that order. It's actually different in other languages, in dutch for example I would say "vierEnTwintig", or "four and twenty" translated directly, so saying the least high value first. (... However this is only for the two digits, because upwards we'll say "honderdVierEnTwintig", or "hunderd four and twenty")
